Under this partnership, Medcare and Aster Pharmacy will become the official Health and Wellness Partners for the World Padel Academy. This partnership marks a first-of-its-kind collaboration where healthcare meets sports innovation, bridging preventive care, wellness solutions, and athletic performance enhancement within the WPA ecosystem.

Padel is experiencing a significant and rapid surge in popularity across the UAE, driven by substantial investment in facilities, strong government support, and the sport’s inclusive, social nature. With Dubai now home to more than 950 padel courts and nearly 300 clubs, the partnership reflects the city’s growing passion for the game and highlights Aster DM Healthcare’s commitment to supporting sports that promote health, fitness, and community well-being.

The collaboration was officially inaugurated by senior representatives from both Aster DM Healthcare and World Padel Academy, marking the beginning of a shared journey toward fostering holistic wellness, athletic performance, and community engagement through sport. Aster will support WPA with on-call physiotherapy and rehabilitation services, and provide an exclusive wellness and sports nutrition offering and will also extend its support to the WPA Junior Academy Open Days.

Commenting on the association, Mr. Rahul Kadavakolu, Group Chief Marketing Officer, Aster DM Healthcare, said, “This partnership represents a shared vision of empowering people through preventive care, fitness, and wellness. As padel rises in global recognition, including its recent inclusion in the Asian Games and growing push toward the 2032 Olympics, we see an exciting opportunity to support this momentum through science-backed health services. By combining Aster’s healthcare expertise with WPA’s strong community of athletes, we are creating a powerful platform to promote holistic health, injury prevention, and active living. We look forward to driving impactful initiatives that blend medical science with sports excellence”
