宗教节日吸引了大量来自世界各地的朝圣者，并有可能在朝圣者之间传播传染病，并传染给土著人口。大量朝圣者的聚集可能会危及东道国的卫生系统。具有流行潜力的传染病对全球卫生安全构成的威胁表明在这些宗教活动中提前规划公共卫生监测和应对的重要性。沙特阿拉伯在管理麦加朝圣数百万朝圣者的数十年中，在大规模集会上提供医疗保健方面拥有丰富的经验。在本报告中，我们描述了广泛的公共卫生规划、用于监测公共卫生风险的监测系统，以及在2012年麦加朝圣和2013年麦加朝圣期间提供和获得的卫生服务，这些服务总共吸引了来自184个国家的500多万朝圣者。我们还介绍了最近建立的全球大众聚集医学中心，这是沙特政府与世卫组织大众聚集医学合作中心、海湾合作委员会国家、英国大学和全球公共卫生机构建立的伙伴关系。
Religious festivals attract a large number of pilgrims from worldwide and are a potential risk for the transmission of infectious diseases between pilgrims, and to the indigenous population. The gathering of a large number of pilgrims could compromise the health system of the host country. The threat to global health security posed by infectious diseases with epidemic potential shows the importance of advanced planning of public health surveillance and response at these religious events. Saudi Arabia has extensive experience of providing health care at mass gatherings acquired through decades of managing millions of pilgrims at the Hajj. In this report, we describe the extensive public health planning, surveillance systems used to monitor public health risks, and health services provided and accessed during Hajj 2012 and Hajj 2013 that together attracted more than 5 million pilgrims from 184 countries. We also describe the recent establishment of the Global Center for Mass Gathering Medicine, a Saudi Government partnership with the WHO Collaborating Centre for Mass Gatherings Medicine, Gulf Co-operation Council states, UK universities, and public health institutions globally.
