Step-by-Step Guide to Apply National Medical Team (NMT) for 2025 Hajj Exercise

Step 1: Confirm Eligibility

Medical Doctors, Pharmacists, Nurses, and Environmental/Community Health Workers.

Age Requirements (based on 2024 guidelines, likely similar for 2025):

Doctors and Pharmacists: 28–60 years.

Nurses and other health workers: 22–60 years.

Service Status: Must be in active service at the time of application.

Prior Participation: Must not have served in the NMT for the last three Hajj seasons (2022, 2023, 2024).

Step 2: Gather Required Documents

Professional Credentials: Valid professional license or certificate (e.g., Medical Council of Nigeria registration for doctors).

Identification: National ID, voter’s card, or international passport.

Applicant Declaration: Downloadable from the NAHCON portal (based on past years).

Guarantor’s Attestation: A letter from a credible guarantor (e.g., civil servant GL 15+, traditional ruler, magistrate, or Local Government Chairman) who has known you for at least 5 years, attesting to your integrity and capability.

Optional: CV or proof of experience (if requested).

Step 3: Check Application Dates

On the previous update date March 1, 2025), applications begin March 8, 2025.

End Date: Typically, NAHCON provides a two-week window (e.g., 2024 closed February 26 after opening February 12). Expect closure around March 22, 2025, but confirm via official channels.

Time: Portals often open at midnight (00:01 AM WAT) and close at 11:59 PM WAT on the final day.

Step 4: Access the Application Portal

Website: Visit https://newsite.nigeriahajjcom.gov.ng/.

Step 5: Complete the Online Application

Create an Account: If required, register with your email and a password.

Fill the Form: Enter personal details (name, age, address, profession).

Upload documents (license, ID, guarantor’s letter, etc.).

Verify all information—errors or falsification lead to disqualification.

Submit: Click “Final Submission” or equivalent. You may receive a confirmation number or email/SMS.

Step 6: Await Screening and Notification

Screening Process: NAHCON reviews applications for completeness and eligibility. Random balloting may occur if applications exceed slots (e.g., 140 were shortlisted from 7,532 in 2024).

Notification: Successful candidates are contacted via email, SMS, or portal updates. Check your registered contact details regularly.

Additional Checks: Some applicants (e.g., pregnant women in 2024) were dropped post-screening; ensure compliance with all health and eligibility rules.

Step 7: Prepare for Duty

Orientation: If selected, attend NAHCON’s screening/orientation (dates TBD, often pre-departure).

Travel: An advance team typically departs in May (e.g., May 12, 2024). Expect a similar timeline for 2025.

Role: Serve in clinics in Makkah (e.g., Masfala Kudei) or Madinah, providing medical care to pilgrims.

Application is free; NAHCON does not charge fees directly or via agents.
