The Turkish man who had hypertension and diabetes was taken to a hospital for further treatment and was discharged later.
Al Harbi holds a diploma in nursing and has also been awarded certificates proving his excellence in the field and practiced nursing in some private hospitals earlier. He has carried several volunteering emergency services during Haj season and Ramadan.
