Sportsmen and women’s lives fringe along good health for the entire duration of their active service.
From the right diet, training methodology, rest, and response to ailments, sportsmen need it all in the right measure.
In the same vein, treatment of sportsmen’s injuries and general health anomalies remains pertinent to their lives and a key factor to the right desired service.
Therefore, the right recommended medication to sportsmen and women is a key ingredient to their respective lives.
It is upon this rich background that management of Gaddafi Football Club acquired the right desired partner in Nile International Hospital to provide medical care to the players and staff.
The two parties stamped the relationship with an inked Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 12th October 2021 at the newly regreened Gaddafi Arena in Jinja city.
The nitty-gritty in the MOU indicates that it is a two-year renewable partnership worth Shs. 60,000,000 effective the 2021-2022 season.
Col. Saad Katemba, the Gaddafi Football Club lauded Walukuba based health facility for the wise decision to work with them as regards improving the health of the players and staff.
I want to thank Nile international hospital for accepting to partner with us. That’s how you know institutions that do work for the benefit of people rather than self-satisfaction. You have seen the tag of 60 million; it’s not easy. Not anybody can come up and do it. If they were so much business oriented and geared to personal satisfaction they wouldn’t have done that.
Col. Saad Katemba, Gaddafi FC Patron

I wish Gaddafi success and pray you bring the cup home.
