A gesture of solidarity from Jorge Messi
The death of Jorge Messi brought to light a gesture of solidarity that the father of the ten had kept hidden in silence. It is a public health impulse in Rosario through a pediatric bone marrow transplant training program, which allowed more than a hundred patients without medical coverage to access the procedure.
A continuous training project
Jorge Messi approached the municipality with the intention of financing treatments for children with growth hormone deficiency, the same condition that the Rosario star suffered during his childhood. However, they proposed financing the training of specialist pediatric transplant doctors and Jorge accepted. Along with the pediatric transplant team of the Hospital Universitari Vall d’Hebron in Barcelona, the foundation articulated a continuous training project.
A positive impact
The project bore fruit and the hospital reached the hundredth intervention, a figure that was unthinkable before the intervention of the foundation. His departure made those who witnessed the gesture go out and tell the story. In parallel, Leo bid farewell to his father with a heartfelt letter on his social media.
Rosario Central in the present
Currently, Rosario Central is at the top of the Liga Profesional Argentina, with 18 goals in favor and 8 goals against. The team leads the table with 1 point of advantage over Lanús. Their next match will be against Gimnasia L.P. at home on August 29.
