The Makkah Health Cluster announced that it provided comprehensive medical and treatment services to more than 100,296 beneficiaries during 2025, through specialized medical teams at Ajyad Emergency Hospital and the Grand Mosque's hospital and emergency centers. These intensive efforts reflect the ongoing commitment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's government to ensuring the safety and health of pilgrims, visitors, and worshippers, and to providing them with the highest level of care.
Figures and statistics reflect the scale of the achievement
Official data released by the health cluster revealed the significant work undertaken by medical and technical staff to serve visitors. Services provided included 123,084 accurate laboratory tests, contributing to rapid diagnosis and appropriate medical decisions in record time. Additionally, 14,751 patients benefited from the advanced radiology and medical imaging services available at these centers.
In terms of pharmaceutical and therapeutic services, 173,018 prescriptions were dispensed to patients and visitors, while the intensive care units dealt efficiently and professionally with 966 critical cases that required hospitalization and intensive care during the same year, reflecting the high readiness to deal with emergency and complex cases.
Strategic location and the importance of rapid response
The Ajyad Emergency Hospital and the Haram Emergency Centers are of paramount importance and strategic significance due to their geographical location adjacent to the Grand Mosque and the central area. This proximity is a crucial factor in saving lives, as it allows ambulance teams to intervene immediately in emergencies such as heat exhaustion, heart attacks, and accidental injuries that may occur as a result of overcrowding, thus enhancing the health security system within the Grand Mosque and its outer courtyards.
Supporting the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030
These distinguished medical services fall within the broader context of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's efforts to serve the Two Holy Mosques and are directly aligned with the objectives of Vision 2030, which aims to increase the capacity for Umrah and Hajj pilgrims and enhance the services provided to them. The healthcare system in Makkah plays a pivotal role in realizing this vision by providing a safe and healthy environment and harnessing all available human and technological resources to ensure a smooth and secure spiritual journey for all visitors from around the world.
Constant readiness and qualified staff
The Makkah Health Cluster confirmed that these centers and hospitals are operating at full capacity around the clock, supported by flexible, pre-prepared operational plans that take into account peak seasons and high population density. Medical staff are committed to implementing the latest treatment protocols and preventative measures approved by the Ministry of Health, reflecting the significant development of the health sector in the Kingdom and its exceptional ability to manage mass gatherings and provide high-quality care in one of the world's most crowded locations.
