Yakeb delivers hospital bed to assist former hockey player Brian
KUALA LUMPUR: The National Athletes Welfare Foundation (Yakeb) team visited former national hockey player Brian Sta Maria’s home in Petaling Jaya to deliver follow-up assistance for his discharge from University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC).
PETALING JAYA: The National Athletes Welfare Foundation (Yakeb) recently visited the home of ex-hockey player Brian Sta Maria in Petaling Jaya to deliver a hospital bed. Brian had previously received a wheelchair from Yakeb to aid his mobility. This time, the request came from his wife, Lum Mee Ngoh, who sought assistance in securing a hospital bed for home use to improve comfort and safety.
Yakeb contacted the Cheras Rehabilitation Hospital (HRC) for relevant information, but Brian's admission to HRC depends on his doctors' assessment at UMMC. Brian recently underwent surgery to relieve intracranial pressure following a fall. He now remains at UMMC, where doctors advise that home recovery with family support, including potential physiotherapy and rehabilitation, is preferable.
The visit also included former teammates Datuk Poon Fook Loke, his wife Datin Mona Chin Wan Looi, and R. Pathmarajah, who presented the hospital bed to Lum Mee Ngoh on behalf of Yakeb. Yakeb emphasized that their 'Visit & Treat' initiative assesses needs, provides tailored support, and will continue to assist Brian if further help is required.
