The State government has launched the MedLEaPR, an online portal developed by National Informatics Centre, to issue Medico Legal Certificates (MLCs) and Post-Mortem Reports (PMRs) from hospitals in a quick and efficient way.
The objective is to streamline the medico legal work, make it hassle-free, and ensure accountability.
An official release said that under the new scheme, MLCs and PMRs are to be prepared and submitted by the doctors on the MedLEaPR portal only. No handwritten MLC or PMR shall be issued henceforth, it said.
All the medical officers and doctors involved in the issuance of MLC or PMR in hospitals under the Health and Family Welfare Services should be registered on the MedLEaPR portal. After registration of doctors, the Nodal Officer concerned will approve their account by verifying their hospital-issued ID card within two days.
In case of transfer, deputation, promotion, and/or resignation, it is the duty of the doctor concerned to inform the Nodal Officer, MedLEaPR of the hospital concerned, and ensure updating of the same on the portal.
In case of non-functioning of the portal, computer-typed reports in prescribed format shall be issued immediately and then uploaded on the portal as soon as possible, but not later than 24 hours. The report of the portal should be frozen at the earliest, but not later than seven days.
