Rigobert Song flown France for more treatment

Former Cameroon international Rigobert Song has been flown from Cameroon to France for further treatment after coming out of a two-day coma.


The 40-year-old was admitted to Yaounde Central Hospital on Sunday after falling unconscious.

On Tuesday he waved to fans outside the Yaounde Emergency Centre as he was taken away to the airport.

Yaounde Emergency Centre director Dr. Louis Joss Bitang A Mafok said Song had suffered a "cerebral hemorrhage".

Song's relative, Alexandre, has expressed gratitude to Cameroonians for their good wishes.

"At this moment my family is living difficult times. We are touched by the love and support of Cameroonians and elsewhere," he said.

Cameroon Health Minister Andre Mama Fouda also offered his support.

"Song has departed to Pitie Salpetriere hospital in Paris, where he will continue treatment. I am grateful to the Head of State for instructing the government to take the necessary measures to ensure that Song recovers.

"We hail the professionalism of medical doctors in Cameroon and we continue to pray for a safe trip for Rigobert Song and that he should recover very fast."
