He emphasized that the mission members are not only representing their institutions but also the values of Morocco in one of the holiest religious gatherings.
The Minister confirmed that the medical mission will cover various aspects, including prevention, treatment, psychological support, and awareness-raising, and outlined a comprehensive action plan that includes:
- Setting up 7 fixed health stations
- Deploying 2 mobile medical units
- Forming 4 referral teams
- Establishing 1 dedicated awareness and outreach team
He also noted that the mission has been fully equipped with the necessary human and logistical resources, including medical and biomedical supplies and medications, to ensure efficient healthcare delivery to Moroccan pilgrims in Mecca and Medina.
Additionally, each pilgrim will receive a health kit containing portable devices for measuring blood pressure, blood sugar, and temperature, along with protective gear such as face masks and sanitizers.
The Minister concluded by urging the mission members to embrace the spiritual opportunity that Hajj offers and to remember to pray for the nation, the people, and His Majesty King Mohammed VI, wishing them a blessed pilgrimage and a rewarded effort.
