The delegation, comprising officials from the Ministry of Religious Affairs and doctors from the Hajj medical team, participated in training titled ‘Qualification Programme for Hajj Affairs Office Members and Group Leaders’ organized under the management of Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. During it, delegation members successfully completed training and skills assessment activities across various Hajj management tracks.

As part of early preparations for the 1448 AH Hajj season, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah organized this program. The main objective of the program, conducted in 11 training tracks, was to enhance the leadership and operational skills of members of Hajj-related offices and group leaders, prepare them for duties, and enable them to improve the quality of services for Hajj pilgrims from their respective countries.

The training covered various important aspects of Hajj management, including transportation management, accommodation, food supply, provision of services at holy sites, healthcare, media and group management. Alongside assessing participants’ skills, arrangements were made to disseminate knowledge acquired through training to others using the ‘train-the-trainer’ method.

It is expected that the knowledge gained in the training will help in communication with Hajj pilgrims, providing quick response, and making Hajj management more efficient and effective in the 2027 Hajj operations.
