Epilepsy Care Group (Singapore) (ECG) is a social service agency, a registered charity and an Institution of a Public Character (IPC) established in 1993 to provide counselling services and act as a support group and resource centre on information relating to epilepsy, treatment and care for persons with epilepsy and their families. We are also 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. ECG is also recognised 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 organisations working to improve the social conditions that affect people with epilepsy.
