Document background
The Medical Permission Letter is a crucial document in Singapore's healthcare system, used when formal authorization is required for medical procedures or treatments. It ensures compliance with Singapore's medical legislation, including the Healthcare Services Act 2020 and Personal Data Protection Act. This document is particularly important for non-emergency procedures, clinical trials, or when treating minors or individuals with limited capacity. The letter typically includes patient details, procedure specifics, consent statements, and healthcare provider information, serving as both a legal record and a communication tool between healthcare providers and patients or their representatives.
