Pilgrims undergoing dialysis still need careful health planning before a long journey. This guide is general; final decisions should be discussed with the doctor or treatment centre managing the pilgrim.
Obtain medical clearance early
Discuss with your doctor about journey suitability, flight duration, worship schedule and weather conditions. Request a medical summary, medication list, key test results and a treatment confirmation letter if needed.
Plan treatment schedule and support
Check dialysis centre options at the destination early and ensure treatment schedules don't conflict with flights or group movements. Inform the agency about mobility needs, diet, medication, rest times and emergency contact numbers.
Keep documents and medication safe
Carry medication in original labelled containers, keep printed and digital copies of medical documents, and separate essential supplies in your carry-on. Do not change medication or treatment schedules without professional medical advice.
