The University of Health Sciences (UHS), started a Certificate in Medico-legal Examination, the first-ever certification course of its kind in the country, focusing on the domains of forensic medicine and medical jurisprudence and intending to enhance the competent, ethical, and professional practice as a medico-legal expert.
The medico-legal process refers to the physical examination at a mandated health facility of victims of unnatural death or injury, possibly involving criminality, that could have legal repercussions. From assault to accidents to suspected homicide, and everything in between, the first step of the investigation is the medical examination.
