Epilepsy Care Group (Singapore) [ECG] is a non-profit,
volunteer-based organization that began in 1993 as an
effort to address the needs of persons with epilepsy
and their caregivers in Singapore. We are a registered
society (ROS 226/95 Wel) under the Societies Act, which
means that we are accountable to the Registrar of Societies
and have a Constitution that mandates an Annual General
Meeting at which ECG members elect an Executive Council.
The work of the Executive Council is assisted by various
medical and legal professionals who sit on a Board of
Consultants. The ECG is also recognized as a charity
(CA1204) under the Charities Act by the Commissioner
of Charities. The Ministry of Health therefore has an
account (HEF0043/G) in our name under the Health Endowment
Fund to receive tax-exempt donations.
We are also
affiliated to The International Bureau for Epilepsy
(IBE) which is a world-wide chain of organizations working
to improve the social conditions that affect people
with epilepsy.
The
current 13th Executive Council (2007/2008) comprises
the following members:
