In a major step towards enhancing transparency, accountability, and technological inclusion in Delhi’s Medico-Legal system, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday inaugurated MedLEaPR (Medical Legal Examination and Post Mortem Reporting) platform at the Delhi Secretariat.
Developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), MedLEaPR is an advanced digital system designed to streamline the reporting of medico-legal cases (MLCs) and post-mortem reports (PMRs) across all healthcare institutions in Delhi.
‘MedLEaPR enables effective reporting of medico-legal cases (MLCs) and post-mortem reports (PMRs) across health institutions. The goal of the system is to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the medico-legal documentation process,’ said CM Gupta.
The launch event was attended by Delhi Minister Ashish Sood, Chief Secretary Dharmendra, and senior officials from the Delhi Police, Home Department, and NIC.
Highlighting the platform’s capabilities, CM Gupta noted that MedLEaPR will reduce the need for handwritten documentation by allowing all reports to be submitted electronically. Only authorised personnel will have access through secure user authentication and access control features. Every action taken within the platform will be recorded in a comprehensive audit trail, ensuring transparency and accountability at every step.
The platform is also fully integrated with the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS), enabling seamless coordination among hospitals, investigating agencies, forensic labs, and the judiciary.
According to the Chief Minister, the initiative not only represents a leap toward digital governance but also significantly reduces the time required to prepare and process reports. This will lead to better coordination between healthcare and law enforcement, more accurate documentation, and enhanced efficiency in the judicial process.
The chief minister noted that the government of Delhi is committed to providing fast, transparent, and trustworthy services to the public through the use of technology. “MedLEaPR is a testament to our government’s commitment to Digital India and e-Governance,” she concluded. The Financial Express
