Legal protection for forensic pathologists

I appreciate Jordan’s first female forensic doctor Israa Tawalbeh’s view that legal protection should be provided to forensic pathologists so that they can discharge their duties smoothly. 

First, I would like to congratulate Tawalbeh for being the first lady forensic pathologist in Jordan. I think more female doctors should come to this profession of medical jurisprudence.

In fact, forensic pathologists provide important clues to finding out criminals’ footprints. 

I sincerely hope that the authorities in Jordan will respond to Tawalbeh’s call and form a committee to decide the points of legal protection to be provided to forensic pathologists.
