Abstract:
This work presents information about the current practice of medico-legal services including forensic pathology services in the Islamic state of Qatar from the author's personal experience gained during a consultation visit to Hamad Medical Corporation Hospital of Qatar. Qatar enacted a comprehensive autopsy law (Law No. 8 of 2003) on the basis of tenets of Islam, incorporating modern trends and opinion. This deals with performance of hospital/clinical, forensic post-mortems and dissection of dead bodies for educational purposes.
