Madinah, Saudi Arabia, July 19, 2026: Nahdi Medical Company achieved a new Guinness World Record through its “Convoys of Hope” program, implemented during the Hajj season in partnership with the Hayat Charity Association. This achievement exemplifies the importance of collaboration between the private and non-profit sectors to deliver impactful health and community initiatives that support the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and enhance the quality of healthcare services provided to pilgrims.
The record for the “most people to sign up for a vital signs screening in one week” was achieved in Al Madinah, at a site frequented by pilgrims during their religious journey. Over 12,000 participants had their vital signs measured as part of a preventative awareness campaign. The initiative aimed to promote health awareness, encourage early detection, safeguard the wellbeing of pilgrims, and contribute to a positive experience for visitors in the Kingdom.
Reflecting on the new world record, Eng. Yasser Joharji, CEO of Nahdi Medical Company, stated: “We are proud to have achieved this record through the “Convoys of Hope”, one of our most cherished corporate social responsibility programs, which we have consistently delivered over the years in cooperation with our non-profit partners. This achievement reflects Nahdi Medical Company’s role as a leading Saudi organization that actively contributes to the national ecosystem for serving pilgrims. It also affirms our commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia’s efforts in providing high-quality healthcare to pilgrims arriving from all over the world. I extend my deepest thanks to the Hayat Charity Association for their effective partnership, and to my fellow volunteers from Nahdi Medical Company who dedicated their efforts to the success of this program and the realization of this national milestone.”
The “Convoys of Hope” program stands as one of Nahdi Medical Company’s flagship corporate social responsibility initiatives. The program delivers vital healthcare services across the Kingdom; from serving pilgrims in the holy cities of Makkah Al Mukarramah and Al Madinah, to improving healthcare access for underserved groups in remote villages. Operated in partnership with the non-profit sector, the initiative utilizes mobile clinics staffed by highly qualified medical professionals. These clinics offer comprehensive care, including medical consultations, vital signs monitoring, initial health screenings, and disease prevention education, alongside dispensing essential medications. Fully aligned with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and the Health Sector Transformation Program, “Convoys of Hope” continues to expand through strategic partnerships. These collaborations ensure the sustainability of health initiatives, broaden the reach of beneficiaries, and drive national development objectives to build a healthier and more sustainable society.
