About
Chee Wai Yee is a palliative care researcher whose work focuses on the ethics and practice of end-of-life care, particularly during public health crises. Her major contributions center on redefining what constitutes a "good death" under extreme circumstances, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In her highly cited 2020 paper, "Pursuing a Good Death in the Time of COVID-19," published in the *Journal of Palliative Medicine*, she and her co-authors examined how infection control measures, visitor restrictions, and resource scarcity challenged traditional palliative care principles. This work, which has garnered 53 citations, has become a foundational reference for clinicians and ethicists navigating end-of-life decisions during outbreaks. Beyond this, Yee’s research addresses the intersection of clinical practice, patient autonomy, and systemic constraints, offering practical guidance for maintaining dignity and comfort when normal protocols are disrupted. Her scholarship is notable for its timeliness and real-world applicability, influencing both hospital policies and broader conversations about compassionate care in emergencies. For students and researchers in palliative medicine, medical ethics, or disaster response, Yee’s work provides essential insights into preserving humanity at the most vulnerable moments.
