The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has approved the operation of two clinics for the Nigerian Hajj Mission in Makkah.
Recall that some Nigerian pilgrims who could not access NAHCON clinics recently expressed discomfort for not being able to access NAHCON clinics in Makkah.
NAHCON in a statement signed by Hajia Fatima Usara said two clinics have been approved for the commission
The statement reads:
“The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) is happy to announce that it has received approval to operate two main clinics in Makkah for the meantime.
“The Saudi Ministry of Health revealed this development through its medical consultants attached to Ithra Alkhair company, NAHCON’s chosen Service Providers otherwise known as Mu’assasa.

“The two main clinics are those located at Masfala/Kudai and Shari’e Al-Mansour areas. They serve as the Medical Head offices.
“The approval letter was received by Dr. Abubakar Adamu Isma’eel, NAHCON’s Head of Medical Mission for the 2024 Hajj Season.
“Meanwhile, approval to start running three other outpost clinics (Triage Outposts 1, 2 & 3) is still being awaited. Dr A. A-Isma’eel expressed optimism that within the next 48-72hours the three outposts would also receive full approval to operate optimally.
“The proposed outposts are located at Nasarawa, Ogun/Oyo and Borno Houses respectively.
“The GPS of the outpost locations will be made available to the Nigerian pilgrims within hours of approval. It should be noted that the outposts are strategically situated within Pilgrims’ Hotel clusters to aid accessibility.
“NAHCON has already deployed its team of professional medics who are set to provide healthcare services to Nigerian Pilgrims. Accordingly, the Commission solicits cooperation of the Nigerian Pilgrims for the measures put in place to succeed,” the commission said.
