UNMIK/PR/1203
PRISTINA – OMPF will award the first forensic medicine diploma in Kosovo to four doctors tomorrow. The diploma course has provided capacity-building training in forensic medicine for these local professionals, as a key part of its ongoing efforts to modernise the medical legal (forensic) system. The internationally recognised diploma was created in collaboration with Coimbra University, Portugal and took place over one year, supported by a selected team of international forensic experts.
The students attending the course were already employed by UNMIK’s Department of Justice in the field of forensic medicine. The diploma was designed to increase their knowledge and bring the students’ expertise in line with European forensic practices and standards.
OMPF is dedicated to building solid foundations for Kosovo’s future. This capacity-building initiative has been a crucial development in equipping local staff with the skills necessary to continue establishing the fate and whereabouts of missing persons.
