SINGAPORE - Five years ago, Ms Michelle Tan was in the middle of a conference call at home when she suddenly had difficulty breathing.
She then began making plans for the future, including going to a lawyer to draw up a will, and in March 2022, she went to the non-profit Society of Sheng Hong Welfare Services to make an advance care plan. Among the preferences Ms Tan indicated in her plan were to be in a quiet, peaceful environment should she fall critically ill, as well as to have rituals performed in line with her Buddhist faith in such a situation.According to a 2019 report by the Institute of Policy Studies on end-of-life care policy here, about 5,100 advance care plans were completed between 2011 – when Singapore’s national advance care planning programme started – and 2015.
“It also ensures that their preferences are heard, especially when they can no longer speak for themselves,” she added. Ms Chin Shih Yuin, a programme coordinator at Sengkang General Hospital who helps facilitate advance care plans, said that when she started her current role in 2018, people greeted the concept with shock.
