JOGJA PORTAL – Towards the peak of the Hajj season, the Medina Heart Center is holding a Cardiac Emergency Symposium as an anticipatory step to face a potential spike in critical cases in the Holy Land. This forum presents a series of leading experts in the fields of emergencies, cardiology and intensive care. This was quoted from Arab News on Sunday (3/5/2026).
The Madinah Health Cluster emphasized that this activity is an important part of strengthening the readiness of medical personnel to be able to respond to cardiac emergencies quickly, precisely and measurably among millions of congregants.
High enthusiasm can be seen from the participation of doctors and health workers across specialties. They explore the latest approaches based on scientific evidence to improve the quality of heart disease management in Hajj pilgrims.
A number of strategic issues are in the spotlight, starting from early detection of heart risks, optimizing the treatment of heart failure patients, to fast protocols for dealing with heart attacks that require a response within minutes.
Not stopping at theory, this symposium also discussed real experiences in the field—how medical teams deal with critical cases in emergency departments, as well as strategies for activating cardiac catheterization services quickly and efficiently during the busiest period of Hajj. ***
