Each year, hundreds of Muslims from Singapore embark on a deeply meaningful journey to Mecca for Haj. The Haj is a spiritual experience that requires both faith and physical readiness.
For Haj 2026 (1447H), all Singapore pilgrims must complete a mandatory Haj medical assessment before a Haj visa can be issued, in accordance with guidelines from Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj & Umrah (MOHU) and MUIS.
At HMI OneCare Clinic, we’re here to make the process simple and accessible!
Fee: $41.42 nett

The pilgrimage involves long hours of walking, large crowds, and exposure to varying temperatures. For many pilgrims, it’s also a significant change in climate and routine. A medical check-up helps ensure that you’re in good health and medically fit for the journey.
The examination also identifies health conditions that may need extra care during travel, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart issues, and ensures your vaccinations are up to date.
Your doctor will advise on the most suitable vaccinations during your assessment.
Your Hajj journey is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Make sure you begin it in good health and with peace of mind.
Visit your nearest HMI OneCare Clinic for your Haj medical examination today and let us help you prepare for a safe and fulfilling pilgrimage.
1. Is the Hajj medical assessment compulsory for all pilgrims?
Yes. Under MOHU and MUIS guidelines for Haj 2026, all pilgrims must be certified medically fit before a visa is issued. The certificate is submitted to your appointed travel agent and MUIS via the MyHajSG portal.
2. What happens if I’m assessed as “medically unfit”?
If your doctor deems you unfit for travel, MUIS and your agent will advise on deferment or withdrawal options. You may re-apply in a future year once your health improves.
3. I use a wheelchair or mobility aid. Can I still go for Haj?
Pilgrims who require occasional mobility aid but can perform core rituals independently may still be certified fit. However, those who are fully dependent on a wheelchair/scooter or require constant assistance will not be cleared under MOHU fitness criteria.
4. Are pregnant women allowed to go for Haj?
No. Pregnancy is a disqualifying condition for Haj 2026 under Saudi MOH guidelines, due to the physical risks and lack of specialised care during pilgrimage.
5. What chronic conditions can disqualify me?
Severe or unstable chronic illnesses (e.g. heart failure, advanced lung disease, active cancer treatment, dialysis-requiring kidney failure, or severe mental impairment) may render you unfit. Well-controlled diabetes or hypertension are not automatically disqualifying.
6. Can I take the medical assessment online or via teleconsult?
No. MOHU and MUIS require an in-person examination by a registered medical practitioner in Singapore. Teleconsultations are not accepted.
7. When should I complete my medical assessment?
It’s best to complete the assessment as soon as you receive your LOI, so you can meet the 21 Nov 2025 deadline and avoid delays.
8. What documents will I receive after the assessment?
Your doctor will issue a Medical Health Certificate stating “Medically Fit” or “Unfit.” You’ll need to submit this to your appointed travel agent and MUIS as part of your application.
9. Are the vaccinations included in the medical assessment fee?
No. The fee covers the consultation and medical assessment only. Vaccinations are additional and priced separately based on the type of vaccination required.
10. What if my health changes after I’ve been certified fit?
Inform your travel agent and MUIS immediately. Depending on your condition, you may require a re-assessment or be advised to defer your pilgrimage.
