Make Your Medical Wishes Known with an
Advance Medical Directive
An Advance Medical Directive (AMD) allows you to make informed decisions about your medical care in the event you are unable to communicate your wishes. By outlining your preferences regarding life-sustaining treatment, you can alleviate the burden on your loved ones during difficult times. At The Life Legacy, we provide a seamless process for setting up your AMD in Singapore, ensuring your healthcare choices are respected.
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.
