Any doctor treating a patient at the end of life or a patient with a medical condition without prospect for recovery must, prior to implementing euthanasia, enquire at La Commission de Controle et d’Evaluation about whether arrangements for the end of life are registered in the name of the patient.
After the registration of the arrangements for the end of life, La Commission Nationale de Controle et d’Evaluation sends acknowledgement of receipt to the person that had them registered. It is recommended to provide a copy of the arrangements for the end of life (Will for the end of life) and of the acknowledgement of receipt to the treating doctor or, when applicable, to the person of trust.
