Saudi medical team saves Iranian pilgrim
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 03 - 07 - 2022

MAKKAH — The Ministry of Health stated that a medical team has rescued an Iranian pilgrim, who is in his 60s and suffered from acute angina pectoris while he was on his way to the Grand Mosque in Makkah to perform prayers.
The ministry said that the emergency wing of King Abdullah Medical City (KAMC), a member of the Makkah Health Cluster, attended the case of the Iranian pilgrim, who had severe chest pain.
The medical team from the KAMC Heart Center performed an urgent diagnostic catheterization and CT scans that showed the presence of blockage of more than two arteries, causing acute angina pectoris.
The ministry said that the medical team decided to perform an open heart operation, but the patient refused to do it. After consulting with a doctor who facilitated bringing him for Hajj, it was decided to install stents across the wall of the damaged arteries through angioplasty.
This resulted in the recovery of the patient, who is currently in good health, and is about to be discharged from hospital and join his Hajj campaign to continue performing his rituals.
The ministry noted that KAMC provides specialized healthcare services for all Hajj and Umrah pilgrims and visitors.
The city provides the best ever possible healthcare services through its highly qualified doctors and advanced world-class medical facilities that enjoy great support from the government of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and utmost keenness and vigorous follow-up of the Ministry of Health to provide high quality health services.
