Mumbai Hospital Launches First 'Living Will' Clinic in India
Imagine you get very sick and can't tell the doctors what you want.
A 'Living Will' helps with this.
It's a paper that says what treatments you want (or don't want) if you're unable to speak.
The new clinic in Mumbai helps people make these wills.
The wills can cover things like breathing machines and special feeding.
They only come into play when you're very ill and can't make your own choices.
Mumbai hospital launches India's first 'Living Will' clinic.
The clinic assists individuals in creating legal documents for future medical care.
Living wills outline treatment preferences when individuals cannot communicate decisions.
They cover interventions like mechanical ventilation and CPR.
The will becomes effective when a person is terminally ill or unconscious.
