Ministry Launches Digital Medical Certification System for Hajj 2027

The Ministry of Religious Affairs, in partnership with the National Information Technology Board, has unveiled a digital platform to simplify the medical certification procedure for those planning to undertake the Hajj pilgrimage in 2027. Pilgrims from Pakistan will now have the ability to provide their necessary medical fitness certificates electronically via the Pak Hajj app and website.

This new system requires pilgrims to download a pre-approved medical form, have it filled out and validated by a doctor registered with the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council, and then submit the certificate digitally through the Hajj Management System. Pakistani citizens residing overseas will be required to have the medical form completed and validated by a doctor in their country of residence prior to uploading it under the Overseas category on the online platform.

The submission of a medical fitness certificate is a mandatory requirement under Saudi regulations for pilgrims embarking on the Hajj journey. Authorities have recommended that intending pilgrims finalize their medical documentation and other online prerequisites well in advance to prevent any potential delays during the registration and preparation stages.

Pilgrims have also been encouraged to download and utilize the Pak Hajj app to conveniently access the necessary services and finalize their Hajj-related commitments digitally.
