Information leaflet and poster
We have produced an information leaflet that details how Hajj pilgrims can manage travel-associated risks to enable them to protect themselves, their family and the wider community.
We have also produced an infographic poster which recommends that Hajj pilgrims prepare themselves for travel by visiting their GP six to eight weeks before departure.
The poster may be displayed in GP surgeries, mosques, social clubs and other venues where they may be seen by those planning to go to Hajj or Umrah. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the information leaflet above.
They are both available in the following languages:
- English
- Arabic
- Bengali
- Urdu
