Overview

This session is part of the 3rd Infection Control Update Conference during 2023, providing an opportunity for healthcare professionals to learn from experts in the field.

What I will learn?

• The use of antimicrobials in terminally ill patients should be based on a careful assessment of the patient's clinical status, the potential benefits and risks of treatment, and the patient's values and preferences. The decision to use antimicrobials should be made in consultation with the patient and their family members or caregivers, and should take into account the patient's goals of care and wishes for end-of-life care. What is the ethical, and what is the religious stand ?
