The Ministry of Religious Affairs has implemented government orders to provide Hajj training, vaccinations and medicine packing facilities, through a streamlined “one-window” operation, a private media outlet reported.
The integrated training and vaccination process will start simultaneously in 10 Hajj camps throughout the country from April 8.
Authorities have made it compulsory for all the government sponsored pilgrims to attend these sessions based on the schedule.
As per Pak Hajj mobile app, it is mandatory to participate in both training and vaccination. Pilgrims have been instructed to come fully prepared and adhere to all the guidelines issued by the ministry.
During the sessions, pilgrims have to carry important documents, such as their tickets, CNICs, and full personal details.
The ministry has particularly emphasised to bring original identity cards with computerised printed banking receipts.
To ease the pilgrims more, special bank counters will be installed in the training camps. These counters will help pilgrims with the currency exchange and other financial needs prior to the pilgrimage.
Earlier, the ministry made it mandatory for the Hajj 2026 pilgrims to fill in a medical questionnaire using Pak Hajj mobile application, giving them a specific deadline – March 27, 2026.
Travelling arrangements officials stated that the on-time submission is very important for smooth travelling arrangements.
The questionnaire contains basic information about health-related questions with “yes” or “no” answers.
It includes conditions like blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, arthritis and thyroid disorders to guarantee better healthcare planning during Hajj.
Authorities indicated that non-submission of the medical form could have complications during the processing of travel.
Pak Hajj app is being updated regularly. New features include a link directly to print a Hajj visa and accessing complete flight schedules.
Pilgrims have been advised to check the app often for any updates and important instructions.
