Members of the Senior Men’s and Women’s Team recently underwent a full medical surveillance conducted by the Healthnet and Lab Medica Group, an existing partner of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association.

Players underwent ECG, lung function test, full blood and urine work up for liver function, kidney function and diabetes evaluation; Cancer evaluation and a full doctor’s physical examination including Vision and Hearing screening.

Twenty five senior men’s team players and 15 of the players currently training with the Senior Women’s Team under Carolina Morace took part in the surveillance earlier this month.

CEO of Healthnet and Lab Medica Richard Ramrekha spoke about the ongoing service being offered to the TTFA and its national teams.

“This is an existing partnership that we feel very honoured and privileged to be part of. The physical and health condition of our players is immensely important and we have seen it fit to extend this service to all our national teams and existing national players. We have done this year the beach soccer players, the under 17s and the senior men and women,” Ramrehka said.

“We try to ensure the players are aware of the health state and prevention measures are vital in the life of athletes. Once we discover that any of the players are in need of further treatment, the recommendations are made and we take it from there,” he added.
