The sixth edition of the Medical League promises to be its most vibrant yet, with enhanced organization and the exciting inclusion of athletics alongside the traditional sports of netball, football, and volleyball.
Kayunga Regional Referral Hospital enters as defending champions, determined to retain their title in football, while Uganda Christian University holds the volleyball crown.
Twaha Ssekabira, Chairman of the Medical League, announced the improvements on Friday following a generous sh7.5 million sponsorship and team kits from MEGA LifeSciences.
“Our biggest challenge has been funding, but with this support, we anticipate greater team participation and smoother coordination,” Ssekabira stated. “It’s a major relief for the organizers, and we’re grateful to all teams that have consistently supported this league over the years.”
Vivek Chandra, Country Head for MEGA LifeSciences, echoed the brand’s commitment to promoting wellness within the medical fraternity through sports:
“We’re proud to support this initiative. Sports are a vital avenue for wellbeing, and our three-year partnership will strengthen bonds within the medical community. We aim to renew and expand it when the current term ends.”
MEGA LifeSciences is a leading manufacturer of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products. Their contribution will also fund trophies and prizes for winning teams, helping elevate the quality and prestige of the tournament.
With added disciplines and renewed energy, the 2025 Medical League is shaping up as a true celebration of health, teamwork, and community spirit.
