Q11- When choosing not to receive any medical interference to maintain life, what else can be done instead?

Physicians and medical institutes, who respect patients’ decision to terminate, remove or refuse LST or tube feeding when under the five kinds of clinical statuses mentioned in PSDA, will still need to provide hospice and palliative care. Comfort care, pain management, psycho-social and spiritual care, and guidance will be provided to help patients express their gratitude, sorrow, affection and farewells to their loved ones, thereby ensuring their remaining days are filled with dignity and without regrets.
