This facility is designed to provide immediate emergency care during Umrah and Hajj seasons, ensuring seamless access to medical services for pilgrims. The hospital operates 24\/7, utilizing the latest medical technologies and staffed by highly qualified healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n<p>The Grand Mosque Emergency Hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities, including an intensive care unit, medical laboratories, radiology services, and an in-house pharmacy.<\/p>\n<p>It also features dedicated areas for critical emergency cases, respiratory emergencies, observation units, and an isolation unit for infectious diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Located on the northern side of the Grand Mosque, opposite King Abdullah Gate, the hospital is part of the mosque\u0092s third expansion project.
