Principii de etică și deontologie în actul de expertiză medico legală | [Ethics and deontological principles in forensic report]

Abstract

Forensics is an independent branch of medical practice, its role being to establish and determine the truth through forensic acts; it brings a special contribution, on one hand to judicial institutions in determining and establishing judicial truth and on the other hand to medical institutions by reflecting existing problems in public health care. The professional and moral-ethical duty of forensic medical experts is to determine the sequence of medical acts, which they construe in order to determine and formulate a truth. The latter is established by expertise and is useful to solve a presented legal issue.
