'Best services' for UAE's pilgrims

Makkah: Head of the UAE's Official Haj Mission Mohammad Obaid Al Mazroui, urged members of various committees of the mission to use all resources and facilities at hand to deliver best services to UAE pilgrims during this year's Haj season.

Speaking at an expanded meeting held last night with members of his mission at its premises in Makkah, Al Mazroui expressed profound thanks to the UAE's leadership for providing the mission with all its requirements and needs which helped carry out its critical role in a proper manner and make this years pilgrimage a success.

Dedicated to mission

"Members of the mission are required to cooperate, be faithful and dedicate their time and energy to provide the UAE' pilgrims with high quality services, in order to help them perform the rituals in a comfortable and safe manner," he said.

Head of the mission's medical team Dr Abdul Karim Al Zarouni said that health professionals embedded with the mission would register health data of every pilgrim in a form designed to assess the health of each individual pilgrim.

"The form, which was distributed to all UAE pilgrims, will help us create a reliable health database which will be very useful in monitoring and treating various diseases pilgrims may face," he said.

The health committee is one of the key players in the UAE Official Haj Mission ensuring the health of pilgrims during this spiritual trip.
