P&G Health and CAPP host online scientific symposium focused on whole body wellness during Hajj

P&G Health, in partnership with CAPP (Centre for Advanced Professional Practices), successfully held an online scientific webinar on 30 and 31 May 2025. Focused on “Whole Body Wellness,” the event was designed to support pharmacists and healthcare professionals (HCPs) across the Middle East, especially in Saudi Arabia, ahead of the upcoming Hajj season.

The CME-accredited webinar received an outstanding response, with over 8,825 registrations, highlighting the strong interest in practical, evidence-based education to prepare for one of the world’s largest annual mass gatherings.

P&G Health, a leader in whole-body wellness across areas like nerve care, heart health, sleep, nutrition, and cough & cold, supported the event with expert-led sessions aimed at improving over-the-counter (OTC) medication practices during Hajj. As pharmacists often serve as the first point of care, the webinar highlighted their crucial role in supporting pilgrims’ health and preventing common conditions during the pilgrimage.

The programme, accredited by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialists (SCHS) for four CME hours, featured topics including:

Dr. Majed AlHudhud: PCOS Care Continuum: Enhancing Metformin Therapy with B-Complex in Clinical Practice
Dr. Nevin Zaki: Melatonin & the Science of Sleep: Pharmacological Perspectives for Safe OTC Use
