Created by Muslim medical professionals in coordination with a Mayo Clinic physician, the Hajj & Umrah Travel Medical Kit allows Muslim pilgrims to quickly and effectively respond to common injuries and emergencies while traveling. Each year, millions of Muslims worldwide make a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. In 2016, Hajj is from Sept. 9 to Sept. 14. Umrah occurs at various times throughout the year.

"During Hajj, pilgrims stay one night under the open sky, with no pharmacies or clinics around. The Saudi government provides ambulances, but they are preoccupied with serious conditions." The Hajj & Umrah Travel Medical Kit, which is TSA-compliant, includes all of the necessities for pilgrims to keepthemselves safe while traveling. Enclosed within an attractive and easy-to-carry case, the Hajj & Umrah Travel Medical Kit contains items for:
"Unlike regular first aid kits, the Hajj & Umrah Travel Medical Kit is meant specifically for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims," said Fehmi, who has performed Hajj three times.

The Hajj & Umrah Travel Medical Kit is available for $37.49 (a 30 percent retail discount) at http://mytravelhealthapp.wixsite.com/mysite.
