The head of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Medical Centre has urged over 10,800 pilgrims to complete their mandatory medical screenings as soon as possible.

During a meeting of the Planning and Coordination Council of the Supreme Leader's Hajj Mission and the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organisation, the head of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Medical Centre noted that medical examinations have confirmed the eligibility of over 80 per cent of the pilgrims referred so far. He stated that more than 10,800 individuals have yet to undergo their examinations and must attend their appointments promptly.

Dr Seyed Ali Marashi added that medical commissions have been held at least once in every province, and to date, 183 individuals have been deemed ineligible for the upcoming Hajj pilgrimage.
