There are presently three emergency healthcare facilities that provide round-the-clock medical assistance to visitors to Mecca's Grand Mosque.

Strategically located and managed by the Mecca Health Cluster in cooperation with the General Authority for the Care of the Two Holy Mosques, the centres aim to provide comprehensive and immediate care for worshippers.

The emergency centres include Haram Emergency Centre 1, situated on the first floor of the King Fahd Expansion near Gate 88; Haram Emergency Centre 3, located in the Saudi corridor near Gate Ismail and the funeral prayer area; and Haram Emergency Centre 4, on the first floor of the Saudi corridor near the Ajyad Bridge.

The Grand Mosque area is further supported by three main health facilities providing comprehensive medical care.

Ajyad Hospital, equipped with an intensive care unit, laboratory services, and a pharmacy stocked with essential medications, operates round-the-clock to serve pilgrims. Al Haram Hospital, located on the northern side of the mosque opposite King Abdullah Gate, specialises in emergency care for visitors.

To bolster emergency response, the Saudi Red Crescent has deployed several automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in collaboration with the General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque. These devices, designed to improve survival rates in cases of cardiac arrest, are strategically placed across key locations, including five units at the main gates, five in the circumambulation area, and five in the Saudi Third Expansion.

The General Authority provided a detailed explanation of AED usage, emphasising its simplicity: users need to activate the device via the green laser, position the electrodes as indicated, and follow the audio and visual prompts for delivering a shock to restore normal heart rhythms.

The Mecca Health Cluster collaborates with the General Authority to deliver primary and emergency healthcare as well as health awareness initiatives. This is in addition to ensuring high-quality medical services for all pilgrims visiting the sacred site.

The General Authority and the Ministry of Health also work hand in hand to launch various health awareness programs, further safeguarding the well-being of the millions who visit the Grand Mosque each year.
