A female pilgrim from Egypt was saved from losing her eyesight, thanks to a quick and successful surgery by doctors at the Eye Health Center of King Abdullah Medical City in Makkah.
The woman suddenly lost her vision during her stay in Makkah. When she visited the hospital, doctors found that she had a serious condition, retinal detachment and cataracts. If not treated in time, this could have caused permanent blindness.
Thankfully, the medical team acted fast. They carried out a special eye surgery to repair the damage and restore her sight. The operation was successful, and the woman was allowed to go home on the same day. She is now feeling better and getting ready to continue her Hajj journey.
Saudi Arabia’s health officials are continuing to provide care and checkups to support her full recovery. They have assured that all pilgrims will receive the best possible medical services during Hajj.
This case shows the strong commitment of the Saudi health system to ensure the safety and well-being of all pilgrims. Medical teams are on standby across Makkah to handle emergencies and provide fast, expert care when needed.
The woman expressed her deep gratitude to the doctors and health staff who helped her. Her story is a reminder of how important medical services are during large gatherings like Hajj, where quick response can save lives and protect futures.
