The hospital will be the first such building in its area and will serve 34 areas around the area of Bambali. In a statement given to Spanish outlet AS (h/t The Daily Mail), Mane stated:

“This hospital is obtained thanks to you, and it is for you, the population of Sédhiou”

Mane’s good deed praised by Liverpool fans

This is also not the first time that Mane has overseen a project like this. Previously, he helped construct a secondary school as well as a supermarket in the area, which is named after him.

It is always a great sight to see footballers not forgetting their roots and going back to help their community lead better lives. Despite his long journey in Europe, Mane is still very close to his hometown.
