LGAN Requests Medical Partnership for 2026 Golf Championship

The Ladies Golf Association of Nigeria (LGAN) is pursuing a medical partnership with the National Hospital Abuja in preparation for the 2026 All Africa Challenge Trophy, which will take place from November 2 to 7 at the IBB International Golf and Country Club in Abuja. Lami Ahmed, the president of LGAN and chairperson of the tournament's Local Organising Committee, made the request during a visit to the hospital on Wednesday.

Approximately 30 African countries are expected to participate in the tournament, necessitating extensive medical arrangements for the influx of players, officials, and other attendees. Ahmed specifically requested an equipped ambulance, qualified medical personnel, emergency supplies, and established evacuation and referral protocols throughout the events.

She also emphasized the need for prompt medical attention for anyone requiring further care and sought the hospital's support for the competition's medical and safety committee. The management of National Hospital Abuja expressed readiness to review the proposal and collaborate on emergency-response arrangements.
