The Government Medical College Hospital (GMCH) in Kollam introduced India's first-ever 'Living Will Information Counter.' This initiative aims to raise awareness and assist people in drafting living wills, which specify their healthcare preferences if they become incapacitated. The counter has already helped hundreds of individuals obtain soft copies of their living wills within three months. The program promotes patient autonomy and informed decision-making, while also reducing emotional and financial burdens on families in cases of terminal illness or life-threatening conditions.
