Abstract:
Hajj has posed substantial health related problems to the pilgrims, possible public health threats to the indigenous population, between host and home countries, and also to the global health security. A good strategic public health plan for physical and mental health for the pilgrims prior to departure should be implemented. It is important to improve the health facilities and use well-trained medical personnel during Hajj. Health monitoring among pilgrims after home arrival should be done. These measures should be continuously done in order to minimize the risks and negative impacts.
