 Pastors and full-time workers and their family members who require medical and legal services can now get free treatment from the NECF Foundation panel of professionals. However, the service is only available to those working for churches or organisations which are members of NECF Malaysia.
Presently, the panel consists of a lawyer and three doctors in Ipoh. Chun Chee Cheong is offering free legal services, while Dr Lim Wee Yong (paediatrician) and Dr Ng Ngee Keng (gynaecologist and obstetrician) are offering free consultation and medicine. Dr Yeat Siw Eng (ear, nose and throat specialist) is offering free consultation.
The foundation has also confirmed general practitioner Dr Sasi Paul as its panel doctor in Alor Star. To access the services, patients/clients needs to get a letter from their church/organisation stating the panellist required and the reason, and present it to NECF which will then issue a referral letter. For emergency cases, the patient/client can inform NECF’s Rev. Lai Moo Him who will contact the panellist required.
These services are part of the foundation’s continuing effort to assist full-time workers who are in need. The foundation is looking for more doctors and lawyers and other professionals from all over the country to join the panel. Meanwhile, the foundation is also working on organising retreats for pastors’ wives to encourage them in their ministries. The retreats, to be held regionally, will provide the wives an opportunity to get to know each other and form support networks.
