The Madinah Health Cluster has prepared a dedicated dialysis hall inside the Kidney Centre at King Fahad Hospital in Madinah, with the aim of keeping healthcare services ready for pilgrims with kidney conditions throughout Hajj 2026.
What the Centre Offers
The hall operates through 13 dialysis machines with a daily capacity of up to 25 sessions.
Beyond haemodialysis, the centre also provides peritoneal dialysis and ongoing follow-up care for pilgrims who have received kidney transplants — covering the full range of kidney-related medical needs a pilgrim may have during their stay.
Emergency Cover Around the Clock
The haemodialysis unit at King Fahad Hospital is on standby 24 hours a day to receive urgent cases.
Pilgrims who develop kidney complications at any hour can be treated without delay.

The Madinah Health Cluster said the services are part of a complete healthcare system built to give pilgrims safe and effective medical support from the moment they arrive until they leave.
The centre is not limited to routine sessions — it is set up to manage the full medical journey of any pilgrim with kidney disease throughout Hajj 2026.
