Hajj with a long-term condition

Many people with long-term conditions perform Hajj safely. See your GP or specialist well before you go, agree a plan for medication, heat and long walks, and make sure your group leader knows.

Last checked: November 2026. Written for pilgrims travelling from the UK.

Plan with your GP

Is the condition stable enough for weeks of heat and walking?
How to adjust medication timing across time zones and long days
What to do if you become unwell
A letter describing your condition and medicines

On the ground

Wear a medical ID card or bracelet
Tell your group leader and roommates
Keep snacks, water and medication with you at all times
