In 1300 AH (1883) a health office and a hospital of forty beds were built at Mina to care for pilgrims during Hajj. They were paid for from savings in the health budget made by the army doctor Major Nuri Bey, and photographs of the building were sent to Sultan Abdülhamid II for his albums. The hospital no longer stands. Its site lies in the valley of Mina, close to Masjid al-Khayf.
