Hajj pilgrims asked to have check-up by Oct 30

The pilgrims, who intend to perform hajj this year both under government and private managements, have been asked to complete their health check-ups and vaccinations by October 30.
A PID handout said medical boards have been formed for carrying out health check ups and vaccinations of the pilgrims by the deadline.
Pilgrims from Dhaka district and metropolitan city have been asked to contact Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Mitford Hospital, Shaheed Suhrawrdi Hospital and Government Employee Hospital.
The intending hajj pilgrims from divisional cities were asked to contact government medical college hospitals while in other districts the pilgrims were advised to report to respective civil surgeon offices.
Besides, under special arrangements, medical board would be set up at Askona hajj camp in the capital in October.
Pilgrims, who will fail to have their check ups and vaccinations at their respective medical board or lose their health and vaccination certificate or those who had vaccinated in last hajj ritual but lost vaccination certificate can take health service in these centres, said the handout.
Ministry of Religious Affairs requested all intending hajj pilgrims to collect certificate after undergoing check ups and vaccination at medical board by the stipulated time as the Saudi authorities would not allow anyone to enter Saudi Arabia without such health certificates.
