Hajj medical fitness certificate issuance made possible in all PHCC health centers for free

The Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) has announced that in 1448 AH (2026-2027), prospective pilgrims can obtain Medical Fitness Certificates for Hajj at any of their health centers, free of charge. This aligns with the Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs conditions and follows Qatar's approved health protocols.

The new service aims to enable pilgrims to complete their medical requirements, ensuring they are in good health before embarking on their journey. Prospective pilgrims can apply for the certificate at any PHCC Family Medicine Center, any day of the week, without the need for an appointment. The service is free for Qatari citizens and residents, but a small fee will apply to residents with expired Residency Permits or health cards.

The medical certificate can be issued in both paper and electronic form. PHCC's move is part of their effort to provide comprehensive healthcare services and facilitate access to necessary medical care, supporting health preparations for the Hajj season.
