Hey there! I’ve got some exciting news to share. A new smart robot service has just launched in Madinah to help pilgrims.
This cool initiative comes from the Ministry of Health branch in Madinah province, and they’ve placed the robot right in the courtyard next to the mosque.
Let’s dive into how this robot is making things easier for everyone!
How the Robot Helps Pilgrims
The robot’s main job is to share educational messages, guidance, and health tips to ensure pilgrims stay safe and well-informed. And guess what? It speaks more than 96 languages! This means the robot can communicate with you no matter where you’re from. Isn’t that amazing?
Health Teams on the Ground
But that’s not all. The Health Ministry’s Madinah branch has also assembled volunteer and awareness teams. These teams are super dedicated and always on the move. 220 volunteers, both men and women, work tirelessly to help pilgrims.
Here’s what they do:
- Provide health and emergency services
- Assist at key locations like the Prophet’s Mosque, its access roads, and Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport
- Help at Haramain Train Station and several mosques like Quba, Khandaq, Sayyid Al-Shuhada, and Miqat Dhul-Hulaifah
They’re everywhere pilgrims might need help, ensuring everyone has a safe and smooth experience.
Welcoming Pilgrims from Pakistan
Meantime, the Pakistan Hajj Mission (PHM) has done an amazing job. Since the pre-Hajj 2024 flight functions began on May 9, they’ve welcomed 98, 500 pilgrims to Madinah and Makkah. That’s many individuals!
