What was the story of moving Iranian pilgrims by ambulance and Saudi helicopters?

In an interview with Fars news agency’s health reporter, Pir Hossein Kolivand, the head of the Red Crescent Society, said: “With the consultations that have taken place, and in case of the resumption of Umrah trips, the hospitals of the Red Crescent Society in Saudi Arabia are fully prepared to provide health care services.”

He clarified: due to the meeting and consultation with the head of the Saudi Red Crescent on the sidelines of the Geneva General Assembly, we had very constructive and positive events and actions with the health officials of Saudi Arabia during this year’s Hajj, which resulted in providing better services to the pilgrims of the House of God. .

The head of the Red Crescent said: This year, for the first time, after meeting and talking with Jalal Idrisi, the head of the Saudi Red Crescent in Mena, we will use the services of transporting Iranian patients to Madinah and Jeddah to return to our country using the country’s ambulances and helicopters. Saudi Arabia was done for free and friendly.

He pointed out: Although according to the Saudi officials, the Red Crescent of the Islamic Republic of Iran has used the best and most efficient medical and treatment teams as well as modern equipment in the relief and treatment of Hajj, but this year with effective interactions, there is a need for any equipment and facilities. It was mostly resolved with the friendly and sincere cooperation of Saudi Arabia.

Explaining the dimensions and scope of day and night activities during the days of Tashriq in the Hajj Ibrahimi season, Koulivand said: This year, also allocating suitable places for providing health and treatment services for better conditions and well-being of Iranian pilgrims was another measure that was carried out with the cooperation and interaction with the authorities. The health and treatment of the country of Saudi Arabia took place.

The head of Jamiat Hilal Hamar emphasized the full readiness of our country’s medical teams for this year’s Hajj and stated: All the pilgrims of Baitullah Al-Haram performed their duties without any problems and will return to the country from Thursday of this week based on the plans made.
