Aspetar, Qatar’s orthopaedic and sports medicine hospital, recently welcomed the newly appointed French ambassador to Qatar, Franck Gellet, which marked his first visit to the hospital. Received by Dr Philip Landreau, chief of surgery at Aspetar, the envoy attended a briefing on the services the hospital provides for athletes and a tour of some Aspetar 
facilities such as the Rehabilitation Centre and Fitness Area, Altitude rooms, in addition to the Sport Science and the Athlete Screening departments. About the visit, ambassador Gellet said: “Aspetar is one of the first facilities I visited in Qatar after arriving in the country. I must say I was impressed with the high quality of the facility. So, I believe it’s a matter of great pride for Qatar. I understand there are athletes from many countries, including France. For that, I’d like to thank this prestigious organisation for helping French athletes perform at their best.”
