Hajj and Umrah Medical & Vaccination Services in Singapore

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has introduced medical health requirements to safeguard the well-being of all pilgrims.

Read on to understand these requirements in detail.

  • Hajj is a physically demanding journey that involves long walks, high temperatures, and large crowds. These requirements help ensure that applicants are medically fit to perform the rituals safely, while also protecting the well-being of others in Makkah and Madinah.

    All applicants must be in good health, free from any of the disqualifying chronic medical conditions, and physically capable of performing the Hajj rituals safely. (https://www.muis.gov.sg/haj/haj2026-faq/ )

    It is important to note that applicants with existing common chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, do not automatically disqualify applicants from performing Hajj if the condition is managed and a medical fitness certification is obtained. If you have such a chronic condition, we want to work closely with you and help get your condition under control.

    It is mandatory for every applicant to undergo the Haj Medical Assessment, a medical examination conducted by a registered medical practitioner (doctor) in Singapore. Upon completion of the assessment, the doctor will issue a Medical Health Certificate indicating whether the applicant is Medically Fit or Medically Unfit to perform Hajj.

  • The Ministry of Health, in consultation with MUIS, requires pilgrims travelling from Singapore to receive three mandatory vaccinations to safeguard pilgrims' health throughout their journey and better protect them from infections while overseas. They are:

    Meningococcal vaccination:

    Pilgrims must complete this at least 10 days before departure and provide proof of vaccination. 

    Influenza vaccination:

    Pilgrims must receive this within 12 months before their travel date and provide proof of vaccination.

    COVID-19 vaccination:

    Pilgrims must show proof of either a single dose of the updated vaccine for the 2024-2025 season, completion of primary vaccination series, or laboratory-confirmed recovery from a COVID-19 infection during the year 2024.
