Doha, April 26 (QNA) - Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital has implemented integrated medical programs during the concluding sports season, as part of strengthening its partnership with Qatari football by providing medical support to Qatar Stars League players.

As the Official Medical Partner of the Qatar Stars League, Aspetar played a central role in safeguarding player health and ensuring match readiness. Its comprehensive medical framework included preventive screenings, pre-match assessments, and advanced diagnostics, treatment, and rehabilitation in line with the highest international standards in sports medicine.

Commenting on the hospital’s efforts, Acting Director General of Aspetar Khalid Ali Al Mawlawi said, "supporting Qatari sport is a national responsibility we take great pride in at Aspetar. The specialized medical services we provide reflect our commitment to caring for athletes and preparing them according to global best practices. It has been an exceptional season at every level, and we commend the efforts behind the Qatar Stars League. We are proud to be partners in the ongoing success of Qatari football year after year.”

For his part, CEO of the Qatar Stars League Foundation Hani Ballan praised the partnership, stating, "our collaboration with Aspetar has created a safe and professional sporting environment. The hospital’s dedication to player care and medical excellence continues to advance Qatari football. This partnership remains a cornerstone of the league’s long-term success.”

Since the start of the season, Aspetar has delivered unified medical services to all participating clubs through its National Sports Medicine Programme. Integrated medical teams accompany clubs during training and matches, ensuring consistent and immediate care for players.

Operating within one of the most advanced integrated sports medicine models in world football, Aspetar supports players’ recovery and safe return to competition while contributing to performance improvement and football development across Qatar.

Unlike many leagues where clubs manage medical care independently, Aspetar’s centralized and standardized system guarantees equal access to medical services. Comprehensive care is delivered both on and off the pitch, with unified medical standards applied league wide.

Acting as the league’s central medical authority, Aspetar ensures consistency in diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and return-to-play decisions. This framework reinforces medical safety and fairness in player readiness and competitive opportunities.

Each QSL club is supported by an embedded Aspetar medical team comprising sports medicine physicians, physiotherapists, and massage therapists.

These teams continuously monitor players’ health, conduct regular assessments, and document all information in a unified electronic medical record system, enabling real-time tracking and coordination across the league. (QNA)
