Oasis Healthcare Group Ltd has officially entered into a landmark medical partnership with Shabana FC, committing comprehensive healthcare support valued at Sh8.8 million.

About Sh1.2 million will be channelled as cash to the club to support other matters.

The club players would be treated annually Joash Mwanzi, Acting Chief Operations Officer of Oasis Healthcare Group said.

The collaboration goes beyond sponsorship and reflects a shared commitment to community development, excellence and people-centered values.

“The Oasis Healthcare Group is honoured to partner with Shabana FC in a collaboration that goes beyond sponsorship,” Mwanzi said.

“This partnership represents the aspirations of young fans who dream of one day wearing the Shabana jersey, the resilience of the players on the pitch, and the unwavering loyalty of supporters who stand behind the team through every moment.”

Mwanzi emphasized that caring for people is central to Oasis Healthcare’s mission, noting that the institution supports families daily through treatment, injury care, mental wellness services and recovery programs.

He described the partnership with Shabana FC as a natural extension of the hospital’s commitment to community health.

“Behind every great team is a foundation of good health and well-being,” he added. “We are proud to support the players, safeguard their health and be part of this remarkable journey — not merely as sponsors, but as committed partners invested in the success of the team and the Kisii community.”

Dr. Eric Kiriama, Secretary General of Shabana FC, welcomed the partnership, describing it as a significant milestone in the club’s efforts to modernize its operations and prioritize players’ welfare.

“As a club, we remain firmly committed to strengthening our internal structures, enhancing players’ welfare and aligning our operations with modern standards of football management,” Dr. Fankirama said.

“Our vision extends beyond performance on the pitch. It encompasses building a sustainable, professionally managed institution grounded in excellence and accountability.”

According to Dr. Kiriama, Oasis Hospital will provide comprehensive medical cover valued at Sh8.8 million for players and the technical bench.

The package includes medical assessments, treatment, emergency care and overall healthcare management.

In addition to the medical coverage, Oasis will provide Sh1.2 million in annual financial support, bringing the total value of the partnership to Sh10 million per year.

The agreement will initially run for three months before undergoing a formal review to evaluate implementation and impact, ensuring accountability and effectiveness for both parties.

“This partnership is fundamentally about protecting the health of our players, enhancing performance and building a resilient and sustainable football institution,” Dr. Kitiama said.

“Players’ welfare remains the central pillar of our long-term vision, and today’s announcement reflects rapid and strategic progress toward achieving those goals.”

Both organizations expressed optimism that the collaboration will strengthen not only the club’s competitive edge but also its ties to the Kisii community.

“When the community succeeds, we all succeed,” Mwanzi concluded.
