Health Derby: the Policlinico di Milano vs the Ospedale Niguarda
The staff of the two hospitals were pitted against each other on the soccer field of Milan’s Arena Civica. Captained respectively by President Marco Giachetti and General Director Marco Brosio, and helped by Inter and Milan soccer legends Evaristo Beccalossi and Walter De Vecchi, doctors, nurses, administrative personnel, technicians and even the priest of the hospital church donned their jerseys to support the sport and the importance of health and prevention.
In the end, the trophy went to the Ospedale Niguarda, but the spirit of friendship and teamwork that exists between the two hospitals - which did so much to cure thousands of us during the pandemic - prevailed, and provided a moment of joy and friendship.
The initiative was organized with the support of the Centro Sportivo Italiano and the Fondazione Prossimo Mio.
