Example Translation - Post Mortem Report



Please see below an extract from a post mortem report translation.

Post mortem reports can be upsetting to read - please note

Post Mortem examinations are vital for medical research and training, not only for doctors, but for everyone in the medical field and also associated fields i.e. dietary, but also for statistical purposes and financial planning for the health services. They can also be important for blood relatives of the deceased person so see if it has any implications for their health, and, in the case of newborns / babies, for planning future children in case of inherited medical conditions.

Those reports are highly specialist medical reports, listing not only the cause of death established, but everything the pathologist looked at. This includes a description of all the organs and systems.
