Where have all the autopsies gone? A proposal for a centralized autopsy service

Article Abstract:

Hospital autopsies have declined for several reasons. This began when the Joint Commission of Accreditation abolished in 1971 the requirement for the performance of a minimum percentage of autopsies for accreditation. Other reasons include the indifference of physicians, technological advances in radiology and laboratory methodologies. However, autopsy requirements have been revived due to the emergence of infectious diseases. Off-hospital sites are recommended where autopsies can be performed.

Prevention and control of climate-related ailments can be mainly achieved by stopping the extraction, mining and burning of fossil fuels, and maintaining an efficient weather-forecasting system, which can assist in minimizing casualties and curb the spread of disease.
