Abstract

India is undergoing economic, demographic and epidemiologic transitions. The healthcare industry is expanding rapidly as the burden of non-communicable diseases increases. The Indian Supreme Court [1] has recently enabled Advance Medical Directives (AMD). Implementation of Advance Care Planning (ACP) will depend on civil society and the palliative care sector until government support is available.
