A report from the Indonesian Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) shows that 89 Indonesian Hajj pilgrims died during the 2022 Hajj pilgrimage.

This number is down 80.35% from the previous Hajj pilgrimage in 2019, when 453 people died. The Indonesian Hajj pilgrimage was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 by the government due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Of the Indonesian Hajj pilgrims who died in 2022, the majority (41 people or 46.06% of the total) died from ischemic heart disease.

Furthermore, 8 pilgrims (8.98% of the total) died from pneumonia.

“The most common causes of death among Hajj pilgrims were heart and lung diseases,” according to the Kemenkes report received by *Databoks.co.id* on Tuesday, May 23, 2023.

Other causes of death among Indonesian Hajj pilgrims included stroke, heart failure, cancer, hypertension, and dehydration.

The following is a breakdown of the causes of death among Indonesian Hajj pilgrims in 2022 by disease:

1. Ischemic heart disease: 41 people
2. Pneumonia: 8 people
3. Stroke: 7 people
4. Heart failure: 6 people
5. Cancer: 5 people
6. Hypertension: 4 people
7. Chronic kidney disease: 3 people
8. Diabetes Mellitus: 2 people
9. Dehydration: 2 people
10. Liver cirrhosis: 2 people
11. Other causes: 9 people

In light of the number of deaths among Indonesian Hajj pilgrims last year, Kemenkes is preparing an Emergency Medical Team (EMT) to reduce the risk of death among Hajj pilgrims this year.

"One of the strategies for Hajj health services this year is to prepare specialist doctors as EMTs stationed in each sector, so that medical emergencies can be handled more quickly," said Head of the Hajj Health Center Liliek Marhaendro Susilo in a press release on Thursday, May 18, 2023.

The EMT will consist of 15 specialist doctors in the fields of anesthesiology, internal medicine, surgery, neurology, and cardiology. In addition, there will be 12 general practitioners and 43 emergency room/ICU/ER nurses.

These doctors will be on standby to provide healthcare services in 5 working sectors in Medina and 11 working sectors in Mecca, close to the Hajj pilgrim accommodations.

EMTs will also be stationed at several special sector posts, namely the Nabawi Mosque, Syib Amir Terminal Masjidil Haram, Arafah, and Mina.

"This aims to facilitate access for Hajj pilgrims to healthcare services, especially emergency conditions that cannot be handled by Hajj health workers in the kloter (group)," said Liliek.
