Due to emerging burden of diseases, the present day medicine is moving towards advancement and autopsy acts as a significant marker in providing scientific answers to the community. Some short and long term recommendations are crucial in form of awareness sessions through mass and electronic media. These are necessary to bring a change in people’s perception and to replace the misconceptions with evidenced based and rationalized answers on this subject. The medical team should be trained in communication and counselling skills to obtain consent from the family. The physicians should be specially trained in forensic medicine and its certification so that substantial proof of death cannot be misjudged, neglected and contaminated [22]. The government should make efforts to train physicians in field of forensic medicine so that MLOs with forensic medicine expertise can serve the need of current time. In addition to the training of human resource, there is a dire need for the development of training institutes in the field of forensic medicine in the country [22]. Currently, King Edward Medical College under the university of Punjab and College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan is extending M. Phill and fellowship courses in forensic medicine.
