Jakarta – The Health Ministry has actually started sending health officers to Saudi Arabia to make preparations ahead of the arrival of the first batch of Indonesian Hajj pilgrims, expected on Wednesday, May 24.
The Health Ministry’s Hajj Health Centre Head, Liliek Marhaendro Susilo, informed that 129 health officers departed for Saudi Arabia on the first flight batch on Saturday, May 20, while the second batch of health officers will embark on Friday, May 26.
” Officers leaving on the first batch are to prepare health facilities so that Hajj pilgrims in the first flight batch will have an excellent impression when they reach the Holy Land,” Susilo stated in a declaration gotten on Saturday.
He described that the health officers on the first departure batch include workers stationed at airports and in Medina, the health awareness promotion group, and the emergency situation medical team.
” The officers will prepare health facilities in their own work areas to guarantee that Hajj pilgrims receive maximum health services in the Holy Land,” he said.
Susilo also asked officers in the health awareness promotion team to be prudent in identifying the best time to disseminate health details to pilgrims.

Hajj health officers should keep their health and have an excellent rest to ensure that they will stay in prime condition to serve Hajj pilgrims efficiently, he stressed.
