For his part, Kandil said that the mission was supported with 7 tons of medicines and medical supplies, pointing out that an emergency room was allocated around the clock to follow up the health status of Egyptian pilgrims, follow up on the balances of medicines and supplies and distribute them to clinics.
He added that the medical mission will provide its treatment services to Egyptians and all non-Egyptians who request the service, in addition to providing daily awareness lectures at pilgrims' residence and distributing educational brochures to pilgrims.
Kandil pointed out that the health requirements required of each pilgrim include a QR Code certificate stating that he obtains the anti-Coronavirus vaccination and the booster dose, from the vaccination centers spread in all governorates.
