The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) Wednesday advised Nigerian intending pilgrims with underlying sicknesses and other medical conditions that make them perpetually on prescribed drugs to carry along the drugs that would last them.
He advised that such patient pilgrims should have doctor’s prescription and the drugs properly packaged before they would be allowed passage at both Nigerian and Saudi Arabia airports.
Malam Jalal Arabi, said in view of the fact that not all pilgrims are well enlightened, the commission in conjunction with State Pilgrims Welfare Boards, agencies and commissions have made adequate arrangements for such patients to be assisted with prescription and good packaging of their drugs by qualified, certified and responsible medical doctors at the various Hajj Camps and departure centres.
