A 30-year-old Nigerian pilgrim, in her 31st week of pregnancy, gave birth to a baby boy named Mohammed at the Maternity and Children's Hospital in Makkah, which is part of the Makkah Health Cluster marking the first birth of a pilgrim during the current Hajj season.
The pilgrim was admitted to the hospital's emergency department after experiencing labor pains. Emergency doctors immediately attended to her and transferred her to the maternity ward, where she had a natural delivery.
Both the mother and baby are in good health, although the newborn being premature, is receiving special care.
The Maternity and Children's Hospital is fully operational, offering top-tier services to Hajj pilgrims, particularly in handling emergency cases.
The hospital is renowned for its high standards in maternal, neonatal, and pediatric care, regularly handling several childbirth cases during the Hajj season.
