The medical team in Madinah has saved the life of an Indonesian woman whose heart stopped for eight minutes after she arrived in Saudi Arabia for Hajj.
The woman landed at the city’s Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport.
Staff at the airport medical centre stabilised her, before she was transferred to hospital, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Since Hajj season began in the kingdom last month, the medical centre has given care to more than 90,000 people.
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah and the kingdom’s health authorities have expanded their efforts to provide treatment and operations to pilgrims this year, free of charge.
