Walk in for free Haj health certificate at PHCC centres

Prospective pilgrims preparing for the Hajj in 1448 AH, which corresponds to 2026-2027, can now easily obtain their health certification from any Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) health centre. There is no need for an appointment, and these centres are open every day of the week. The certificate is provided at no cost to Qatari citizens and residents, regardless of where they receive their residency permit or health card.

However, a small fee may be charged to those whose residency permit or health card has expired since the issue of the certificate. The certificates are available in both physical (paper) and digital (electronic) formats.

The PHCC's initiative complies with the guidelines and rules set forth by the Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs, and aligns with Qatar's approved health protocols and procedures. The main objective is to ensure that intending pilgrims complete their medical requirements and confirm their good health status before embarking on their journey, allowing them to perform the Hajj rituals safely.

Applications for the free health certificate can be made at any PHCC family medicine centre without the need for prior booking.

This service is part of the PHCC's broader strategy to enhance access to comprehensive healthcare and support health preparations for the Hajj season. The corporation has strongly encouraged prospective pilgrims to avoid postponing the required medical procedures until the last minute, stressing the importance of timely health checks for a safe and successful pilgrimage.
