The Saudi Red Crescent has conducted a successful test landing of an emergency air ambulance on a newly constructed helipad at Masjid Al Haram in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
This helipad, part of the grand mosque's third expansion marks a significant improvement in emergency medical response for the millions of pilgrims who visit annually.
Designed specifically for air ambulance operations, the facility aims to ensure rapid patient evacuation and transportation to nearby hospitals.
With this development, authorities are reinforcing their commitment to providing effective medical assistance in one of the world's most frequented religious sites.
This initiative is particularly crucial during peak pilgrimage seasons such as Ramadan and Hajj when the record-breaking volume of pilgrims can potentially strain existing medical resources significantly.
This dedicated air ambulance service is set to minimise response times and provide urgent care to those in need.
