ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Hajj Mission is fully prepared to cope with any health emergency during the annual Hajj pilgrimage, a senior official told Pakistani state media on Sunday.
Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam and requires every adult Muslim to undertake the journey to the holy Islamic sites in Makkah at least once in their lifetime if they are financially and physically able.
Pakistan has a Hajj quota of 179,210 pilgrims this year, of which around 70,000 people will perform the pilgrimage under the government scheme, while the rest will use private tour operators.
PHM Director Jamil Ahmed Lakhair said a 400-member dedicated Pakistan Hajj Medical Mission (PHMM) is working around the clock to serve Pakistani pilgrims in 抖阴短视频, the state-run Radio Pakistan broadcaster reported.
