Mumbai Hospital Launches 'Living Will Clinic' for Future Healthcare Planning
Imagine you could tell doctors exactly what kind of medical care you want if you get very sick and can't speak for yourself.
That's what a 'Living Will' does!
A hospital in Mumbai has started a special clinic to help people create these wills.
Anyone over 18 can use it to write down their wishes about medical treatment.
You can say what you want, like if you want certain procedures or not.
This way, your family and doctors know what you want, even if you can't tell them.
You can change your mind later.
The clinic helps people make these important choices with care and respect.
