Forensic
Forensic Medicine, also known as Legal Medicine, is the branch of medicine that applies medical knowledge to the investigation of crime and the administration of justice. It plays a vital role in uncovering the causes of injury or death, interpreting trauma patterns, and providing expert testimony in legal proceedings.
Forensic physicians work closely with law enforcement, legal professionals, and forensic scientists to conduct post-mortem examinations, assess living victims of assault, analyze toxicological data, and document evidence in cases of violence, abuse, or suspicious circumstances. Their expertise ensures that medical findings are accurately translated into legal evidence, supporting the pursuit of justice while upholding medical ethics and human rights.
