[1]Participants at the football medicine regional course that concluded in New Delhi on Friday.
With the focus once again back on doping, the concluding day of the Football Medicine Regional Course witnessed sessions on ‘fight against doping’ and ‘supplements in doping’ in the capital on Friday.
Jointly organised by Fifa, AFC and AIFF, the five-day course was attended by as many as 42 participants from 12 countries — including 12 Indian doctors, who went back ‘enriched’ after being ‘taught’ by Prof. Jiri Dvorak, head chief medical officer, Fifa.
AFC medical committee chairman Dato Gurcharan Singh and Prof. Shane Brun, Fifa and AFC medical instructor, to name a few were the others who were present at the sessions.
“The idea was to educate the doctors to deal with medical emergencies, promote health and promote and safeguard safety and medical organisation of a tournament.
“Many participants told me that the practical oriented sessions were something which they had never been part of,” said Dr Manabendra Bhattacharya, chief medical consultant, AIFF.
