For Dr Syafiq, caring for patients doesn’t stop at the clinic
Through free treatment, home visits and support for orphans, the 34-year-old is trying to ease the pressures families face beyond illness itself.
Dr Mohd Syafiq Nadery, a 34-year-old doctor in Kelantan and Terengganu, has taken his medical care beyond the clinic to address the intertwined issues of health and socioeconomic challenges faced by his patients. The initiatives he has spearheaded include the Permata Card, which provides free medical treatment and a monthly allowance to orphans, as well as the DocCare programme, which delivers medical care and equipment directly to bedridden patients in their homes.
Dr Syafiq believes that a doctor's role extends beyond treating patients, emphasizing the importance of considering the broader context, such as financial hardship, education, and everyday difficulties. By offering these comprehensive support systems, he hopes to alleviate some of the burdens on families and ensure that healthcare remains accessible to those who need it most.
