This study will assess the prevalence of asthma amongst hajj pilgrims, and risk of asthma-related events during the hajj using routine data from the hajj medical service. We will observe current organisational and clinical routines associated with the provision of hajj medicals, explore the perceptions of clinicians and managers of the hajj service, and to develop an intervention and implementation strategy to reduce the risk of asthma events.
