Document background
The Permission Medical Authorization Letter is a crucial document in Singapore's healthcare system that enables designated individuals to make medical decisions or access medical information for another person when they are unable to do so themselves. This document is particularly important in emergency situations, during travel, or when caring for minors or elderly family members. It must adhere to Singapore's strict healthcare privacy laws and typically includes specific authorizations, time limits, and the scope of medical decisions that can be made. The letter serves as legal protection for both healthcare providers and authorized representatives while ensuring patient interests are protected.
