Advance Medical Directive (AMD)

AMD is a legal document which is governed by the Ministry of Health. Clients give their written consent in advance, to not proceed with life sustaining treatment, in the event they fall into a coma or become terminally-ill. This gives the client a peace of mind that their family members know what to do in the event they are in a coma or become terminally-ill. It also eases the burden on family members, and relieves any guilt.

4 Benefits of the
Advance Medical Directive (AMD)

1. Autonomy and Control

The AMD allows you to clearly express your preferences regarding medical treatment during a terminal illness, even if you are unable to communicate them later.

3. Natural Death with Dignity

In the face of a terminal illness, some individuals prefer a natural and peaceful passing instead of aggressive medical interventions that prolong life artificially. An AMD reflects this preference by preventing unwanted suffering associated with extraordinary life-sustaining treatment.

2. Respecting Your Wishes

A legally recognised AMD ensures your chosen course of action is followed, even in a state of incapacity.

4. Financial Considerations

Extraordinary life-sustaining treatment can be financially draining. An AMD can help limit unnecessary medical expenses during a terminal illness.
