With every tireless step taken by the pilgrims on their sacred journey, the Saudi healthcare system dedicated mobile field teams, equipped not just with compassion, but with the sharpest edge of medical innovation.
At the heart of this care lies a revolutionary thermal imaging camera, quietly scanning the hidden signs of diabetic foot complications, silent warnings invisible to the naked eye. This technology paints a vivid picture of Saudi Arabia's bold leap toward a preventive healthcare model, aligned seamlessly with the visionary goals of the Health Sector Transformation Program and the Pilgrim Experience Program, pillars of Vision 2030.
Months of meticulous preparation and collaboration between the Ministry of Health and the Saudi Volunteer Health Academy have blossomed into this groundbreaking initiative. Piloted first in Riyadh and Madinah, it now walks the paths of millions during the Hajj season.
The thermal camera, paired with an intuitive mobile app, reads the subtle heat signatures of the feet, empowering medical teams to swiftly detect potential risks and deliver timely care, turning foresight into lifesaving action.
As the holy sites buzz with pilgrims, these mobile teams weave through the throngs like guardians of health, their presence a testament to the Ministry of Health's unwavering commitment. Accompanying medical missions and volunteer groups, they form a protective shield, ensuring every step toward the divine is met with safety, ease, and dignity.
