Maharashtra plans to introduce non-invasive, digital autopsies as part of an overhaul of the state’s postmortem system, with Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis promising reforms. The pilot project will begin at major Mumbai hospitals, including JJ Hospital and KEM Hospital, where procedures will use digital techniques rather than conventional invasive methods. The initiative is described as a move to modernize how postmortem examinations are conducted and to improve the system used to determine causes of death. Under the plan, the digital autopsy approach is expected to be tested first in these hospital settings before any broader rollout across the state. The proposal aligns with efforts to standardize postmortem processes and adopt newer technology in forensic and medical examinations. While details on timeline, scope, and implementation guidelines are not specified in the provided source excerpt, the reporting indicates that the pilot at JJ and KEM Hospitals is the initial step toward wider reforms to the postmortem system in Maharashtra.
