Liverpool star Mohamed Salah continues charitable work by buying home town new ambulance centre in Egypt

MOHAMED SALAH has proved just what the doctor ordered for residents of his home town… by buying them an ambulance centre.

The Liverpool star has previously paid for a series of local facilities in his Egyptian birthplace Nagrig.

Medical emergencies have recently risen in the Middle Eastern nation as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Salah, 28, has now donated £30,000 to build the ambulance station – which will serve 30,000 people locally.

Regional mayor Tarek Rahmy and the player’s dad Salah Ghaly opened the centre at a ceremony last week.

Salah has previously dug deep in his pockets to provide Nagrig with a girls’ school, sports facilities, medical equipment and land to build a sewage treatment plant.

He has donated tons of food during the pandemic, and paid to rebuild a bomb-damaged cancer hospital.

In 2017 Liverpool’s No11 also donated £27,000 to help out the Association of Veteran Egyptian Players, who provide support for ex-footballers struggling to make ends meet.

And the striker’s generosity was evident on Merseyside last month too, when he paid for everyone else’s fuel while filling up his car at a Sainsburys petrol station.

Mo Salah is a hero in Egypt and on Merseyside

Salah has scored 21 goals in 42 games this season to help Jurgen Klopp’s Reds win a first league title in 30 years.

And Liverpool’s stars looked like they were still feeling the effects of their raucous celebrations, when they delivered a groggy display in losing 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium last night.

But with the title nicely wrapped up, and Salah truly a player and person to be proud of, their supporters won’t care a jot.
