This, he said, would help improve the health of footballers who play in national competitions.
According to the experienced doctor, the education and training of doctors are two important areas that need urgent attention in their quest to revive domestic football after COVID 19.
“We would have to start from the internal arrangement. By internal agreement, I mean our local league. What we intend to do is at least organize two seminars for manipulators, massage therapists, physical therapists or doctors from Premier League clubs, ”said Dr. Baba.
Dr. Baba further emphasized the need to subject players to proper medical scrutiny prior to competitions.
“A pressing issue that has been going on for years is what we call the pre-competition medical evaluation (PCMA) of players. It is mandatory by FIFA that all clubs submit to it before involving footballers.
“If a player is going out (abroad), teams would normally ask for his medical report that we don’t have. Is it the PCMA that we normally fill out?” He asked.
“Our first priority will be education. The other thing is to really emphasize PCMAs. Before the league begins, it must be ensured that all participating clubs do it and do it well. Because before recruiting a player, you must undergo a medical examination and an aptitude test. But all this, we just brush it, once it’s playing somewhere it comes, we just take the forms and have a doctor sign.
“So what we will do is audit the PCMAs because this must be done for future purposes. We don’t know, any accidents can happen and the international federation would like to know what you went through medically before allowing you to participate in the competition. If we do not produce it, we could be penalized, ”said the former team doctor Black Stars.
