“As of today, the health condition of our pilgrims generally remains stable. Our medical teams are on standby around the clock,” Head of the Ministry's Hajj Health Center, Liliek Marhaendro Susilo, stated here on Wednesday.
He explained that promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative health services are being provided according to standards, with an emphasis on early detection and rapid response to illnesses.
He added that the Hajj medical teams are prepared to assist Hajj pilgrims with non-communicable diseases, respiratory infections, and psychological distress.
He also noted that the One Data System for Pilgrims’ Health has been strengthened for this year’s Hajj season to support decision-making and medical interventions.
This data system has been integrated from the Hajj pilgrims' departure points in Indonesia to healthcare services in Saudi Arabia.

With this integration, Hajj medical teams can detect health emergencies more quickly, deliver targeted health education, and optimize referrals and follow-up care.
He also encouraged Hajj pilgrims and officers to actively update their health status through the application system.
“That way, services will be more accurate and personalized,” he remarked.
Susilo reminded pilgrims to maintain their physical and mental health, get adequate rest, drink at least two liters of water daily, and consume oral rehydration solutions when necessary.
“We urge extra care for those in the high-risk category. Let us look out for each other so everyone can complete their pilgrimage well,” he stated.
