 | Description: This training package has 2 portions. The first part is for hospital-based surveillance of signal events and the second part refers to the response of healthcare facilities once such an event is detected. We are not exactly sure where in your current categories would be the best place to locate it, especially since there is no surveillance section. Since it refers to health facilities preparation, maybe it could be included under pandemic preparedness? | |

Abstract: Hajj is a unique annual mass gathering where more than two million Muslims congregate in Mekka and Madina in Saudi Arabia from more than 150 countries around the world. The continuing spread of pandemic influenza A(H1N1) 2009 virus may potentially pose a risk to the countries from their returnee Hajj pilgrims owing to the special religious rituals that the Hajjees go through in very crowded conditions during the pilgrimage. This guidance outlines the measures to reduce the risk of disease spread once pilgrims return home. | |
