Qusai Initiative to establish healthcare centre in Irbid Municipality stadium

AMMAN — The Greater Irbid Municipality and the Qusai Initiative, on Saturday reached an agreement to establish a healthcare centre in the northern city’s stadium, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

Irbid Mayor Hussein Bani Hani said that a delegation from the initiative visited the stadium last week to discuss establishing a healthcare unit for athletes, in case any athlete suffers a serious injury, be it during training or competition.
