Postmortem examination training for Doctors
3- Description
The Directorate of Police Health Services is mandated to provide Medico-legal services in administration of justice among other services. This requires medical evidence and one way of achieving this is by conducting Postmortem examinations and presenting expert evidence in courts of law. A larger proportion of this work is being performed by the Doctors in the mainstream Health Sector and it has being realized the quality of the work is not to the required standards to secure successful prosecution.
