Saudi Electronic University’s Jeddah Branch Collaborates with the Second Health Cluster in Jeddah to Educate Pilgrims on Health Awareness and Disease Prevention

As part of its ongoing efforts to promote public health, the Saudi Electronic University’s Jeddah branch, represented by the Deanship of Student Affairs and student Activities Unit and the Community Service Unit, participated in an educational initiative in collaboration with the Second Health Cluster in Jeddah. The initiative aimed to raise health awareness among pilgrims arriving for Umrah and to protect them from potential diseases and health risks.

This initiative stems from the vital importance of educating pilgrims about health practices, as it plays a key role in reducing the spread of infections and preventing chronic diseases and medical emergencies that may arise due to fatigue, climate changes, or large gatherings. The event included specialized guidance on personal hygiene, infection prevention measures, and adherence to health precautions, along with instructions on handling medical emergencies during the pilgrimage.

The Saudi Electronic University reaffirmed its commitment to social responsibility and strengthening partnerships with the healthcare sector, in alignment with the Saudi Vision 2030 goals of enhancing public health and promoting volunteer-based healthcare initiatives. By leveraging its academic and educational resources, the university actively supports initiatives aimed at raising health awareness and improving preventive measures, particularly in major religious gatherings that require integrated efforts to ensure the well-being and safety of all participants.
