A health advisory has been issued once again for Hajj pilgrims by the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
It has been mentioned that those who are suffering from complex and dangerous diseases cannot be allowed to travel for Hajj.
According to the ministry people who are suffering from severe diseases like advanced cancer will not be able to go for Hajj.
Similarly, pilgrims with serious heart diseases or heart failure, kidney failure, chronic respiratory and severe lung diseases as well as liver diseases, will also have to avoid travelling.
The ministry has warned that in case of submitting a false or fake medical certificate, the concerned one may face legal action under the Saudi laws.
Hajj pilgrims have been directed to take special care of their health and follow the regulations and to procure an authentic medical certificate and keep their full medical records with them during travel.
