The Ministry of Hajj held an educational seminar in cooperation with the Wa`i Association and the Directorate of Health Affairs in Jeddah at the office of the National Tawafa Establishment for South Asian Pilgrims. The seminar was attended by the Advisor to His Highness the Minister of Hajj and the General Supervisor of Planning and Development, Dr. Muhammad Simsim, His Excellency the Chairman of the National Tawafa Establishment for South Asian Pilgrims, Dr. Ra’fat Badr, and His Excellency the Assistant General Manager of Development and the General Manager of Training in the Ministry of Hajj, Mr. `Emad Mardum.

The seminar was also attended by a team consisting of Mr. Himdan Al-Rifa`i, Mr. Shakir Qiri, Mr. Khalid Flimban, and Mr. Nayif Sariyyah. The National Tawafa Establishment for South Asian Pilgrims, which deserves to be thanked, prepared the ceremony hall for the lecture to which the members of the departments of general affairs in the National Tawafa Establishments and the representatives of domestic Hajj companies were invited. The aim of the seminar was to increase the awareness of health issues of those who provide services for the guests of Allah in order to prevent any viral diseases which may be associated with this year’s Hajj season. This was implemented by training the representatives of these establishments on the General Disease Prevention Program. Furthermore, a liaison officer for every establishment has been appointed in the Association in order for them to coordinate with the Ministry on this matter.
