Chief minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday launched a digital platform for medico-legal records and autopsy reports, which will bring together heath institutions, investigating agencies, and forensic labs on the same platform and make the medico-legal system more transparent and accountable.
Called “MedLEaPR” (Medical Legal Examination and Postmortem Reporting), the platform has been integrated with the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) and will facilitate electronic submission of medico-legal and postmortem reports, eliminating the need for handwritten documentation. All such reports will be stored in a centralised database, with user access control so that only authorised users will be able to submit or access reports. The platform will have a comprehensive audit trail, ensuring all activities are recorded.
“This platform has been developed by the National Informatics Centre. It enables effective reporting of medico-legal cases and post-mortem reports. The goal is to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the medico-legal documentation process,” Gupta said while launching the platform at the Delhi Secretariat.
