The Ministry of Health has fined three airlines for violating health surveillance regulations upon arriving at Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah. The penalties, issued in accordance with the general provisions of the executive regulations of the Health Surveillance Law at entry points, stem from the ministry's responsibility to address health risks to ensure public safety. According to the ministry, the airlines did not comply with disease vector control measures at infected areas, having failed to spray their aircraft with insecticides, according to specified standards. This is a breach of the health procedures outlined in the executive regulations of the Health Surveillance Law at entry points. Disciplinary action has been taken against these companies to ensure that such breaches, which may endanger public health, are not repeated. The measures are part of the Ministry of Health's ongoing supervisory efforts to boost health surveillance at airports and border crossings, and safeguard public health by strictly enforcing regulations, to ensure the health and safety of citizens, residents, and visitors to the Kingdom.
