The directive makes it compulsory for doctors and medical officers to prepare and submit these reports through MedLEaPR — a digital platform developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC). The system aims to standardize, streamline, and safeguard medico-legal documentation.
According to the department’s order, once a doctor submits their registration on the portal, it must be verified and approved by a designated nodal officer within two days, based on their official hospital identification.
