Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia's health services during the recent Hajj pilgrimage drew appreciation from both pilgrims and the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health, said Widi Dwinanda from the Religious Affairs Ministry's Media Center in a statement on Sunday.

He said that Hatim Abdul Azizi Khoger, a Saudi health official, expressed his appreciation during a visit to the Indonesian Hajj Health Clinic (KKHI) in Mecca.

Dwinanda said that Khoger acknowledged that the KKHI had provided health services in accordance with the standards set by the Saudi Arabian authorities.

Hajj operations in Mecca ended on Saturday (July 13), and all Indonesian pilgrims have departed for Medina. This also marks the end of all Hajj services in Mecca, including health services.

Pilgrims currently admitted to hospitals will be treated until July 23 before being evacuated by KKHI personnel.

As of Saturday, 22 pilgrims received treatment at the KKHI, while 54 others were treated at local hospitals.
