He came from his country hoping to perform the rituals of Hajj, striving to fulfill the dream of his life, wearing the Ihram garments, leaving his family and children, hoping for the mercy of his Lord, and he was attacked by a heart attack.
Ministry of Health stated that the 78-year-old Filipino pilgrim came to the emergency room of Al-Noor Hospital in the Holy Capital in a life-saving condition, and he was suffering from an irregular heartbeat. Which necessitated his immediate aid and the necessary work for him, and in coordination with the hotline, the case was transferred to King Abdullah Medical City in Makkah, where the medical team decided to perform an urgent open-heart surgery.
The ministry indicated that the patient's health condition is stable at the present time, and he will be transferred as part of the health convoy to stand at Arafat Mashar on the day of Arafat to complete his pilgrimage.
The Filipino pilgrim thanked the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, His Highness the Crown Prince, and all the health personnel who provided him with high medical care, expressing his great happiness for enabling him to complete the rituals of Hajj.
