Almost seven hundred interventions and treatments were carried out by the medical team during the entire period of the 17th FINA World Championships. As Prof. Dr. Béla Merkely, Head of the Medical Team of the Championships and Vice-Rector for Clinical Affairs explained, in the framework of the Masters phase, 10 000 senior athletes between the age of 30-100 were competing. Since they were not doing sports actively and were not under continuous medical supervision before the competitions, this Masters phase meant a greater challenge for the medical team as well.
