Egypt and Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah quietly spent $25 million to purchase a private hospital in his home country.
After acquiring the edifice, he transformed it into a completely free medical center for elderly people, who are lonely and have no one to care for them.
At this hospital everything is free- from checkups and surgeries to medication, not a single dollar is charged.
Salah told those close to him, “They built this country — now it’s our turn to care for them.”
One elderly widower, who had not seen a doctor in years, broke down in tears after learning all costs were covered.
While many stars choose supercars or yachts, Salah chose to buy back hope and dignity for the forgotten.
This show of love, philanthropy and patriotism is similar to what Sadio Mane also does in his home country Senegal.
A good case of sportsmen not asking what can the country do for them but what can they give back to the country after the country gave them the life-line.
Once again, the “Egyptian King” reigns not only on the pitch, but in the hearts of millions.
