| المستخلص: |
The Hajj pilgrimage is one of the largest annual religious gatherings globally, attracting millions of Muslims to Mecca and Medina, resulting in extraordinary population density in these areas. This unique environment presents significant public health challenges, particularly in emergency healthcare delivery. The sudden influx of pilgrims creates a healthcare landscape characterized by large-scale demands on medical facilities, personnel, and emergency response systems. The risks associated with crowding, physical exertion, and environmental factors, such as extreme heat, heighten the likelihood of health emergencies, including dehydration, heat exhaustion, and the transmission of communicable diseases. Despite meticulous planning by health authorities, the capacity to respond to medical emergencies during Hajj is often tested by the unpredictability of health incidents exacerbated by high density. This systematic review aims to analyze the impact of population density on emergency healthcare delivery during the Hajj pilgrimage. The study synthesizes existing literature on the challenges posed by high-density environments and explores strategies to optimize medical responses. Key findings highlight a surge in healthcare demand, difficulties in accessing services, increased risk of infectious diseases, strain on healthcare resources, and the influence of environmental stressors. The review emphasizes the need for enhanced triage systems, mobile health units, and public health campaigns to improve emergency care delivery. By understanding these dynamics, healthcare providers can better prepare for future Hajj events, ensuring timely and effective medical interventions for pilgrims, ultimately enhancing health outcomes during this profound spiritual journey. |
