Department of FMT

The Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology at Government Medical College, Gadchiroli, plays a crucial role in the intersection of medicine and law. It is responsible for the scientific investigation of deaths, injuries, and poisoning cases, aiding legal and judicial processes with expert medical opinions. The department also conducts medicolegal postmortem examinations in coordination with local law enforcement agencies.

Equipped with a modern mortuary, autopsy suite, and teaching museum, the department ensures accurate documentation and analysis of medicolegal cases. The faculty comprises experienced forensic experts dedicated to teaching, research, and service. They provide vital support in autopsies, age estimation, injury certification, and toxicological evaluations.

The department actively trains MBBS students in forensic principles, ethics, and the legal responsibilities of doctors. Practical demonstrations, case discussions, and hands-on training equip students with skills to handle medicolegal duties with confidence and integrity.

The FMT Department also promotes public awareness on issues such as substance abuse, sexual assault laws, and injury reporting through outreach programs and seminars. By integrating education, service, and research, the department contributes significantly to public health and the justice system, especially in tribal and rural regions of Gadchiroli.
