In preparation for the 1446 Hajj season, the Kingdom’s health system working in collaboration with the National Unified Procurement Company (NUPCO) and other relevant authorities is utilizing advanced technologies and resources to ensure the continuous delivery of medical supplies. More than 136 fixed and mobile healthcare facilities across the holy sites are being supported to maintain high-quality care and timely service access for pilgrims.
Moreover, this large-scale operation includes over 800 logistics trips and the distribution of approximately 2,000 types of medical products, totaling around 90 million units of medicines and supplies.
To further improve field efficiency and responsiveness, NUPCO, a company under the Public Investment Fund, has deployed 62 transport trucks and a specialized team of 184 logistics personnel. Innovative delivery solutions have also been introduced, such as the use of drones and helicopters equipped with designated landing zones to ensure fast delivery of urgent medical supplies in high-traffic areas.
The Ministry of Health emphasized that these efforts reflect the seamless coordination within the Kingdom’s healthcare ecosystem, ensuring uninterrupted, high-quality medical and logistical services throughout the Hajj season.
