Mecca, May 28 (SANA) Syria’s medical mission for the Hajj pilgrimage said it is providing around-the-clock healthcare services to Syrian pilgrims in Mina through a network of clinics equipped with modern medical technologies and linked to Saudi emergency services.
Dr. Jamil Ali al-Dibl, head of the Syrian medical mission at the Hajj and Umrah Administration, said six camps had been equipped with medical clinics supervised by Syrian doctors and healthcare staff.
Speaking to SANA on Thursday, al-Dibl said the clinics were upgraded this year with virtual medical systems developed in cooperation with Saudi health authorities.
The system includes male and female nursing teams and devices capable of monitoring vital signs continuously, including blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation and blood sugar levels.
He said the clinics would soon receive electrocardiogram and Doppler echocardiography devices connected online to Saudi doctors available around the clock to provide remote consultations and support medical teams in emergency cases.
According to al-Dibl, the medical system is also linked to the Saudi ambulance network to transfer critical patients requiring urgent hospitalization.
Each clinic receives around 100 patients daily for examinations, treatment and wound care, while severe cases are referred to Saudi hospitals, he said.
Al-Dibl added that around 10 patients had been transferred to hospitals during the past 24 hours for urgent medical treatment.
