In brief
- Since 2026, Saudi Arabia issues a Hajj visa only with a medical fitness certificate, and certificates are checked again after arrival1,5.
- The pilgrims being screened are often older and living with several conditions, and their records arrive scattered, scanned and in many languages.
- That makes the software around the doctor, not only the doctor, the place where screening succeeds or fails.
- This guide sets out seven capabilities, an evidence table for the exclusion criteria, a market comparison and a readiness check you can score your platform against.

Hajj is one of the largest recurring mass gatherings in the world. In 2026, 1,707,301 pilgrims took part, 1,546,655 of whom travelled from outside Saudi Arabia17. For the first time, every one of those international pilgrims needed a medical fitness certificate, obtained through the Nusuk platform, before a Hajj visa could be issued1. Certificates are checked for authenticity and accuracy, and the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has said it will take corrective measures against any country whose pilgrims are found to have restricted conditions3. Doctors who certify ineligible applicants face action, and pilgrims who fail the standards are sent home at their own cost4.
Most of the discussion has focused on the doctors who sign. Far less attention has gone to the software around them, even though the process now runs through digital systems almost everywhere. Pakistan's pilgrims download a prescribed form, have it completed by a registered doctor and upload it through the Pak Hajj app or portal6. Bangladeshi pilgrims living abroad send scanned reports to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), where a designated physician enters them into the e-Hajj system8. Indonesia records pilgrim health from first examination to return home in Siskohatkes, its integrated Hajj health information system, and is linking it to national health insurance data19.
Behind each of these routes sit electronic medical record (EMR) systems, clinic management systems and Hajj platforms. They decide how easily a doctor can see a pilgrim's history, how well a decision is recorded and whether the right information reaches the next person who needs it. This guide is for the teams building those systems.

How do Hajj screening routes differ by country?
The Saudi requirement is the same everywhere, but each country has built its own route to meet it. For a vendor, these differences decide which forms you must produce, which outcome categories you must support and which systems you must exchange data with.
| Market | Places | Who certifies | Where it goes | Stages and outcomes |
|---|
| Pakistan | 179,210 (2027)7 | Doctor registered with the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC)6 | Pak Hajj app or Digital Hajj Portal, before the second payment7 | Hajj camp medical officers can stop unfit pilgrims at vaccination2 |
| Indonesia | 221,000 (2026)18 | Health facilities, from local level to embarkation12 | Siskohatkes, linked to national health insurance data19 | Four categories, including fit only with a companion12 |
| Bangladesh | 78,500 (2027)9 | Government hospitals; DGHS physician for pilgrims abroad8 | e-Hajj system, then Nusuk Masar8,3 | Checks, certificates and vaccination after registration9 |
| Nigeria | 50,000 (2027)22 | Coordinated by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) and state boards16 | Nusuk Masar, with pilgrim data uploads due by 26 September 202622 | Pre-departure screening and checks at entry16 |
| India | Set by the Haj Committee of India | Government allopathic medical officer11 | Haj Committee portal10 | Two stages, with original reports kept for stage two10 |
| Malaysia | 31,600 (2027)23 | Ministry of Health screening13 | Tabung Haji, as a condition of the Hajj offer23 | Free of serious or uncontrolled chronic conditions13 |
| Singapore | 900 (2027)24 | Medical providers appointed by Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS)15 | MUIS, as part of the Haj application24 | Category A, B (panel review) or C14 |
When does Hajj 2027 screening take place?
Screening for Hajj 2027 began many months before departure, and each market runs to its own deadlines. Systems that are not ready now will spend the whole season working around the gaps.
15 September 2026India: first-stage medical screening documents due, with original reports kept for the second stage closer to departure10.
21 September 2026Malaysia: Tabung Haji begins issuing offers to 31,600 prospective pilgrims, each required to pass health screening23.
24 to 26 September 2026Bangladesh registration closes, with medical checks to follow9; Nigeria's pilgrim data uploads fall due22.
13 to 18 October 2026Singapore: Haj Medical Assessment deadline15, with panel decisions on Category B cases by 18 October14.
20 October 2026Pakistan: certificates must be uploaded before the second payment window closes7.
From April 2027Departures begin, with checks at embarkation and random checks at airports, hotels and the holy sites in Saudi Arabia11,5.
Why is pilgrim data, not the doctor, the bottleneck?
The pilgrims being screened are, on the whole, older and living with long-term conditions. In 2026, Indonesia classed 170,700 of its pilgrims as high risk and counted 44,247 over the age of 6518. These are people who have seen family doctors, specialists, hospitals and laboratories over many years, and whose histories are spread across all of them.
The evidence a certifying doctor needs is therefore rarely in one place, rarely in one format and rarely written in the terms the criteria use. Clinical classifications that matter for the Saudi list are often not recorded explicitly at all. Heart failure severity, for example, is described using the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classes, and quality standards in the United States require the class to be specifically documented rather than inferred from symptoms25. In everyday records across Asia and Africa, it often is not, which leaves the doctor to piece it together from letters, results and medications.
A doctor can only certify what they can see. The quality of the decision is set long before the appointment, by how the history was gathered and made usable.
National systems are moving in this direction. Indonesia's work to link Siskohatkes with national health insurance data is intended to give health workers real-time access to valid, complete pilgrim records19, and commentary in Nigeria has named the digitisation of medical records as essential to the new regime16. The vendors whose systems sit at the point of care will decide how much of that intent turns into practice.

What does a Hajj screening system need? The seven capabilities at a glance
1Accept records in whatever form pilgrims bring them
2Turn documents into structured, usable data
3Help doctors see the exclusion criteria, without deciding for them
4Show trends, not one reading on the day
5Record the evidence behind every decision
6Exchange data cleanly with national Hajj systems
7Produce a summary that travels with the pilgrim
1. Accept records in whatever form pilgrims bring them
In short: your platform should accept photos, scans and multi-page PDFs in any language, before the appointment, and keep the originals.
Pilgrims arrive with phone photographs of lab reports, scanned discharge summaries, hospital printouts and handwritten prescriptions, in Urdu, Bengali, Hausa, Bahasa Indonesia, Malay, Arabic or English, often several in the same folder. Prescribed forms are frequently downloaded, completed on paper and uploaded again6. India asks pilgrims to keep their original reports for a second round of screening10, so the same documents pass through several hands, and Bangladesh's process for pilgrims living abroad runs on scanned reports sent by email8.
A system that only accepts clean, typed input pushes the work back onto clinic staff, who then re-key what they can and set aside what they cannot read.
What to build or check
- Uploads from phones and scanners, including long multi-page documents and mixed file types in one submission.
- Pre-appointment collection, so records arrive before the pilgrim does rather than in a folder on the day.
- A reliable way to attach each document to the right pilgrim, the right assessment and the right season.
- Originals kept alongside anything extracted from them, so a doctor can always return to the source.
Common failure mode
Documents are uploaded but never opened, because they sit as unlabelled attachments that take longer to review than the appointment allows.
2. Turn documents into structured, usable data
In short: extracted text is not enough; results, medications and diagnoses need harmonised names and units, with clinical review of anything uncertain.
An image of a lab report is evidence a doctor has to read line by line. Structured data is evidence a system can organise, compare and present. The difficulty is that the same information is captured in many different ways across laboratories, hospitals and countries, and every downstream feature, from flags to trends to summaries, is only as reliable as this step.
| What varies | How it shows up in pilgrim records |
|---|
| Test names | The same glycated haemoglobin test reported as HbA1c, A1C or glycated haemoglobin, or in a local language. |
| Units | Creatinine or glucose reported in different units by different laboratories, so values cannot be compared without conversion. |
| Reference ranges | Each laboratory flags results against its own range, so "high" on one report may not mean the same on another. |
| Medications | Brand names that differ by country, generic names, abbreviations and handwritten doses. |
| Diagnoses | Local terms, abbreviations and coded diagnoses from different systems describing the same condition. |
| Dates and identity | Undated pages, different date formats and names spelt differently across documents. |
What to build or check
- Extraction of results, medications, diagnoses and procedures from mixed documents and languages.
- Harmonised names and units, with the many variant captures of the same item brought together.
- Clinical review and quality checks on uncertain items, rather than silent best guesses.
- Mapping to medical coding standards, while respecting any local code sets your client institutions maintain.
Common failure mode
Text is extracted, but not harmonised, so a doctor sees three versions of the same test and cannot tell whether a value has changed or only the unit has.
3. Help doctors see the exclusion criteria, without deciding for them
In short: look for evidence of each Saudi exclusion across diagnoses, medications, procedures and results, and raise it for the doctor to review.
The Saudi criteria exclude pilgrims with kidney failure requiring dialysis, heart disease limiting even light activity, chronic lung disease needing oxygen, liver failure or cirrhosis, and severe neurological or psychiatric disorders including dementia2. Pilgrims with infectious diseases such as tuberculosis or viral haemorrhagic fever, and those undergoing chemotherapy or other intensive cancer treatment, are also excluded3. National forms add detail; India's 2027 form, for example, excludes pregnancy beyond 28 weeks at the start of the journey11.
In practice, these conditions rarely appear in a record using the words on the list. The table below shows where the evidence usually sits, and therefore what a system should be looking for.
| Saudi criterion | Where the evidence usually sits | Clinical reference point |
|---|
| Kidney failure requiring dialysis | Dialysis unit letters and session records, vascular access procedures, kidney function results | Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) category G5, an estimated glomerular filtration rate below 15 mL/min/1.73 m², is defined as kidney failure26 |
| Heart disease limiting even light activity | Cardiology letters, echocardiogram reports, heart failure admissions and medications | NYHA class III describes symptoms with less than ordinary activity, and class IV symptoms at rest or minimal exertion25 |
| Chronic lung disease needing oxygen | Home oxygen prescriptions or supplier records, respiratory clinic letters, oxygen saturation readings | Continuous or intermittent oxygen use is itself the criterion2 |
| Liver failure or cirrhosis | Imaging reports, hepatology letters, liver blood tests, procedures linked to advanced liver disease | A recorded diagnosis of cirrhosis or liver failure2 |
| Severe neurological or psychiatric disorders, including dementia | Memory clinic and neurology letters, cognitive assessment scores, psychiatric admissions, related medications | Severity and its effect on independence, judged clinically2 |
| Cancer under intensive treatment | Oncology letters, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or biological therapy schedules, day-ward records | Active treatment or final-stage disease3 |
| Infectious diseases such as tuberculosis | Tuberculosis treatment records, chest imaging, sputum results | Infection posing a risk to others in a mass gathering3 |
| Advanced pregnancy (India's form) | Antenatal records, dating scans, expected delivery date | Beyond 28 weeks at the start of the journey11 |
The decision and the accountability rest with the doctor4. The system's role is to make sure nothing relevant is missed, and to show the doctor exactly why something has been raised.
What to build or check
- A configurable rule set for each country and each season, with versioning whenever criteria change.
- Rules that look across diagnoses, medications, procedures, results and appointments, not diagnoses alone.
- Flags that link straight back to the source document and the exact passage behind them.
- Flags presented as prompts for clinical review, never as automatic rejections.
Common failure mode
Keyword matching on diagnoses alone, which misses the dialysis schedule in an appointment letter and over-flags a resolved condition from years ago.
4. Show trends, not one reading on the day
In short: show how each chronic condition has behaved over months, including home device readings, not only the reading taken at assessment.
Malaysia asks that pilgrims be free from serious or uncontrolled chronic conditions13, and control is something a single blood pressure or glucose reading cannot show. Indonesia screens in layers from the local health facility through to the embarkation hostel12, generating readings over time that only help if they are joined up. Many older pilgrims also keep home readings, on paper or on the screen of a device.
What to build or check
- A longitudinal view for each pilgrim, bringing past results and readings into one timeline.
- A way to bring in home device readings, including photographs of a blood pressure monitor or glucometer screen.
- Clear indicators of how recent each result is against the national authority's rules.
- Highlighting of recent medication changes, which often explain an apparent improvement or deterioration.
Common failure mode
The latest value is shown on its own, so a pilgrim whose condition has been unstable for months looks well controlled on the day of assessment.
5. Record the evidence behind every decision
In short: capture what the doctor reviewed, the criteria version, the outcome and who signed, so every certificate can be defended later.
Certificates are now checked after they are issued, with random checks at airports, hotels and the holy sites5 and verification of authenticity and accuracy3. When a decision is questioned, a clinic needs to show what the doctor saw, not only what they concluded. A minimum evidence record for each pilgrim might look like this.
| Element | Why it matters |
|---|
| Documents reviewed | Shows the history the decision rested on, and what was missing. |
| Flags raised and how each was resolved | Shows that potential exclusions were considered, not overlooked. |
| Criteria version applied | Shows which national and Saudi rules were in force on the day. |
| Outcome category | Matches each market's categories, such as Singapore's A, B and C14 or Indonesia's four12. |
| Certifying doctor, registration and date | Required by forms such as Pakistan's, completed by a PMDC-registered doctor6. |
| Pilgrim's self-declaration | Allows consistency with the clinical history to be checked. |
What to build or check
- An audit trail that captures each element above automatically as the doctor works.
- Records that cannot be quietly altered once a certificate is issued, with any later change logged.
- Retrieval by pilgrim, doctor, date or outcome when an authority asks.
6. Exchange data cleanly with national Hajj systems
In short: produce outputs that match each national form and route without re-keying, with consent and cross-border handling designed in.
Every country has its own route: the Pak Hajj app and Digital Hajj Portal in Pakistan6, the e-Hajj system in Bangladesh8, Siskohatkes in Indonesia19, appointed providers in Singapore15 and, behind them all, the Saudi Nusuk Masar platform3. Nigeria's Hajj commission has described upgrading its own digital processes to meet Saudi data deadlines22. Re-keying information from one system into another invites errors, and any mismatch between the clinical record and the uploaded certificate becomes a problem at the point of checking.
What to build or check
- Structured outputs that match each national form, field by field, with consistent pilgrim identifiers throughout.
- Support for whatever route each authority uses, from a portal upload to a direct integration, and a plan for when that route changes mid-season.
- Consent captured at the point of collection, covering each onward use of the data.
- Data handling designed to comply with local data protection law, particularly where data crosses borders.
Common failure mode
The certificate is retyped into a national portal from a printed copy, and small differences in names, dates or outcomes surface only when the pilgrim is checked.
7. Produce a summary that travels with the pilgrim
In short: give medical missions and Saudi hospitals a concise, consented summary, ideally following the International Patient Summary structure.
A pilgrim who falls ill will be cared for by their country's medical mission or a Saudi hospital. Malaysia's Tabung Haji, for example, no longer runs its own treatment centre in the Holy Land and now refers pilgrims needing further care to Saudi hospitals13. Those clinicians usually start with little more than what the pilgrim can tell them, often in a second language. Indonesia's records continue after the pilgrim returns home19, which reflects how much the follow-up matters.
There is no need to invent a format. The International Patient Summary (IPS) is an international standard designed for exactly this kind of cross-border, unplanned care27, and a Hajj summary can draw on its structure.
What to build or check
- A concise summary covering conditions, current medications and doses, allergies, key recent results and emergency contacts.
- Printable and digital versions, ready for translation where the receiving team needs it.
- Sharing that happens with the pilgrim's consent, and a way for findings abroad to flow back into the home record.
How ready is your platform for Hajj screening?
Tick each capability your platform supports today. Nothing you enter here is stored or sent anywhere.
Build it, or partner for it?
Several of these capabilities, especially turning messy, multilingual documents into data a clinician can trust, are hard to build well in-house. Teams that try often find that general-purpose AI models struggle with clinical edge cases, consume tokens quickly at scale and raise compliance questions about where data is processed. They also need a clinical review layer that most product teams do not have.
For many vendors, the faster and safer route is to keep the pilgrim and clinician experience, which is where their product differentiates, and partner for the data layer underneath it.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Hajj medical fitness certificate?
It is a certificate confirming that a pilgrim is medically fit to perform Hajj and free of the conditions Saudi Arabia excludes. Since the 2026 season, a Hajj visa is issued only to pilgrims who hold one, obtained through the Nusuk platform1. Each sending country runs its own medical assessment through registered or appointed doctors before the certificate is uploaded3,6.
Which medical conditions stop a pilgrim from performing Hajj?
Saudi Arabia excludes pilgrims with kidney failure requiring dialysis, heart disease that limits even light activity, chronic lung disease needing oxygen, liver failure or cirrhosis, and severe neurological or psychiatric disorders including dementia2. Infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, and cancer under intensive treatment, are also excluded3. National forms can add detail, such as India's limit on advanced pregnancy11.
Who issues the Hajj fitness certificate in each country?
It varies by country. In Pakistan, a doctor registered with the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council completes the form, which is uploaded through the Pak Hajj app6. Bangladesh uses government hospitals and the e-Hajj system8, Indonesia screens in layers through to embarkation12, Malaysia relies on Ministry of Health screening13, Nigeria's process is coordinated by its national Hajj commission and state boards16, and Singapore uses MUIS-appointed providers15.
How is a Hajj fitness certificate checked after it is issued?
Sending countries verify certificates at embarkation2,11, and Saudi monitoring teams check their authenticity and accuracy, including through random checks at airports, hotels and the holy sites3,5. Pilgrims who do not meet the standards can be returned home at their own cost, and doctors who certify ineligible pilgrims face action4.
Is the meningococcal vaccine still required for Hajj?
Yes. The quadrivalent meningococcal (ACYW) vaccine remains mandatory for every pilgrim and must be given at least 10 days before arrival in Saudi Arabia28. Some countries require additional vaccines, so pilgrims should also check their national requirements.
What is Nusuk Masar?
Nusuk Masar is the Saudi digital platform that sending countries and Hajj operators use for pilgrim visas, bookings and entry permits22. Pilgrims' health certificates are uploaded to it, and Saudi monitoring teams use it to check the authenticity and accuracy of those certificates3.
What is Siskohatkes?
Siskohatkes is Indonesia's integrated computerised Hajj health system. It links pilgrims' Hajj data with their medical records from the first examination through fitness certification, the pilgrimage itself and the period after they return home, and is being integrated with national health insurance data19.
What should an EMR or clinic management system do to support Hajj screening?
At a minimum, it should accept records in any form, turn them into structured data, flag possible exclusions for clinical review, show trends over time, keep an audit trail of each decision, produce outputs that match national forms and generate a portable summary for care abroad. The readiness check in this guide lets you score your platform against these capabilities.
Can AI decide whether a pilgrim is fit for Hajj?
No. The decision and the accountability rest with the certifying doctor4. AI is useful for organising records, harmonising results and raising possible exclusions, but those flags should be prompts for clinical review that link back to the source document, never automatic rejections.
How does Jonda Health work with EMR and Hajj platform vendors?
As a partner, not a competitor. JondaX plugs into a vendor's platform through an API, turning pilgrims' documents into structured, clinically reviewed data mapped to medical coding standards, and Jonda Health Services helps design the screening workflow. Vendors keep their product and their relationships with clinics and authorities. You can reach the team at hello@jonda.health.
