PHCC begins issuing medical fitness certificates for Hajj 2027 at all health centres

Qatar’s Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) has announced that medical fitness certificates are now available for people planning to perform Hajj in 2027.
The announcement was made on August 17, 2026, allowing eligible Qatari citizens and residents to complete the required medical fitness process ahead of the pilgrimage.

Medical Fitness Certificate Available Free of Charge

The medical fitness certificate service is available at all PHCC health centres.

Eligible applicants will receive both a printed copy and an electronic copy of their certificate.

The service is provided free of charge to Qatari citizens and residents. However, residents with an expired health card will be required to pay a QR 30 fee.

Where Can Applicants Get the Certificate?

Applicants can visit their registered PHCC health centre and access the service through the family medicine clinics.

No prior appointment is required, and the service is available throughout the week.

Applicants are advised to visit their registered health centre to complete the required medical assessment and certification process.

Applicants must:
