The Ghana Football Association has highlighted the importance of putting in place stringent health mechanism to prevent fatalities in the domestic league.
As a body that conforms to the regulations of the World Anti-Doping Agency - WADA, the FA will be ensuring that issues bordering on doping are critically looked at.
The just ended season saw the premier league hit with the terrible news of the death of Kessben FC's 19 year-old defender Bartholomew Yeboah, who died a day after suffering complications following a challenge in a league game.
And to prevent any of such happenings in the future, the FA says the coming season would witness a compulsory medical examination for all premiership players.
FA President, Kwesi Nyantakyi announced the sport body's decision at the Ordinary Session of the Ghana Football Association's Congress on Thursday.
"I hope the coming year will witness improvement in every aspect of the organisation of the league," he told the General Assembly.
"Effective the 2010/2011 football season, a number of innovations will be seen about the premier league.
"All Premier Division clubs will comply with certain medical conditions which include a compulsory medical examination for all of its players, anti doping etc. before the commencement of the league season."
