Document background
The Letter to Grant Permission for Medical Treatment is essential in Singapore's healthcare system where explicit consent is required for medical procedures. This document is commonly used when a patient needs ongoing treatment, requires treatment while under others' care, or when someone other than the patient must provide consent. It must comply with Singapore's healthcare legislation, including the Healthcare Services Act and Medical Registration Act. The letter typically includes grantor and patient details, specific treatments authorized, duration of permission, and any conditions or restrictions. It's particularly important in situations involving minors, elderly care, or when the patient cannot provide direct consent.
