Advanced medical directive

[mummy1234]

This is to tell drs in hospital that u do not want to waste money on treatment if there is no cure. In Sg that is.

Don't forget to have it done.

Are u sure your understanding is correct?

Check with MOH then.

In Sg, there is a DNR meaning do not resuscitate order. In Sg hospitals.

Google search AMD.

An Advance Medical Directive (AMD) is a legal document that you sign in advance to inform the doctor treating you (in the event you become terminally ill and unconscious) that you do not want any extraordinary life-sustaining treatment to be used to prolong your life.

It is not just any treatment. It is extraordinary life-sustaining treatment.

Thank you for the information.

mummy1234, do you know of any affordable doctors/lawyers where I can get this done at a value-for-money price? I think you're the right person to ask since you're a doctor yourself. Can PM me if not comfortable to say in public.

Doesn’t anybody know how to use an Internet search engine? It took me literally 10 seconds to find the Ministry of Health’s Web page on Advance Medical Directives, including a link to the AMR form and instructions. It’s free.

Relatedly, OCBC offers a free online will generator that should be good enough for most situations.

Finally, you can make a CPF nomination online now. Just log onto your CPF account and start the process there.
