Medical Care at Partille World Cup 2025
What medical care does Partille World Cup offer?
Partille World Cup has first aid staff at all playing areas. A medical clinic is located at Heden, where you can get help with non-urgent medical needs such as prescription renewals, health checks or larger wounds.
How does the healthcare system work in Sweden?
Healthcare in Sweden is paid for by taxes, and all citizens have the right to equal care. In Gothenburg, there are three main hospitals:
Sahlgrenska Hospital: For emergency medical issues for people aged 16 and older.
Mölndal Hospital: For people aged 16 and older with orthopaedic problems like fractures or joint injuries.
Östra Hospital (Queen Silvia’s Children’s Hospital): For all children under 16. They treat both medical and orthopaedic problems.
The city of Gothenburg has a limited number of ambulances. A control centre decides how serious the situation is and how fast an ambulance needs to arrive. This system helps people with life-threatening conditions get care quickly. People without urgent issues might have to wait a long time or be asked to travel to the hospital on their own. This is outside of Partille World Cup’s control.
What should players and relatives keep in mind if an injury happens?
Always bring your passport and health insurance card (if you have one) to matches in case of injury.
Follow the instructions of the medical staff at the field. They are there to help the player.
The player feels best in a calm and safe environment. Everyone around should stay calm and work together to support the situation.
In hot and sunny weather
When a player loses too much fluid, they can feel very unwell. Common symptoms include nausea, headache and tiredness. This can get worse quickly, so it’s important to get care fast.
As a player or coach, it is your responsibility to prevent this. Drink water often and always carry a full water bottle when outside. Add extra salt to your meals, and snack on salty foods like popcorn or salted crisps during the day.
