Maldives Hajj Mission joins training sessions in Jeddah ahead of 1448 Hajj season

The Hajj Conference, organised by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah to prepare for the 1448 Hajj season, has officially commenced in Jeddah. Important training sessions are being conducted from the 6th to the 11th of this month as part of the conference. Institutions and associations from various parts of the world, including the Maldives, are participating. The Maldives Hajj Mission and the Hajj Corporation have attended the conference and associated training sessions. The training covers key areas such as travel, accommodation, technology, safety and security, health, media, and food arrangements. Participants must complete practical components and an examination, and certificates are issued only upon passing the exam. The conference also includes meetings and consultations, and agreements will be established with a Saudi company selected by Mutawwifs (Hajj group leaders). Changes introduced by the Saudi Ministry allow health services during Hajj to be provided through coordination with the relevant ministry in each country, following specific licenses.
