Hajj 2022: Two Pilgrims die in Mecca
By Dayo Badmus,
Two pilgrims have died in Mecca according to the Director of the Medical Department of the Ghana Hajj Board (GHB) Dr Zakaria.
A lady reportedly died when she was saying one of the five daily prayers.
She fell down during the prayers and by the time she was attended to by members of the medical team she had passed on.
Another male pilgrim passed on at the King Abdul Aziz Hospital in Mecca where he was on admission for two weeks suffering from a high sugar level in his body, the director said.
Both pilgrims, he added, died even before the commencement of the Hajj rituals.
On the general assessment of the health management of Ghanaian pilgrims, he said it was good. He attributed to the success of the health management to the surveillance system put in place at the satellite medical units at the hotels where the pilgrims were accommodated.
