Jeddah:Five health clusters participating in the Hajj Conference and Exhibition in Jeddah showcased the services they provided to pilgrims during the 1447 AH Hajj season, highlighting the impact of implementing the Saudi Model of Care in enhancing pilgrims' health and safety.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the clusters operate within an integrated ecosystem focused on prevention, early intervention, and the provision of therapeutic and emergency medical services throughout the pilgrims' journey. The approach has received international recognition from the World Health Organization, which commended the Kingdom's health initiatives, particularly its efforts to manage one of the world's largest human gatherings amid global health challenges.
The achievements highlighted included healthcare services delivered by health clusters in Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, and Taif. Together, they provided care to more than 1.7 million beneficiaries and delivered over 2.5 million individual services. These included thousands of surgical procedures and dialysis sessions, proactive field screenings, and the activation of urgent care systems, a key component of the Saudi Model of Care.
