Abstract

The 24(th) August 1998 decree related to technical prescriptions applicable to hospital mortuaries, to be enacted as of September 11(th) 2001, compels hospital administrations and involved personnel to consider architectural concepts of autopsy room. Nevertheless, the technical prescriptions of this decree seem to be inadequate because an autopsy room requires specific functional and technical organization such as adequate flooring, adapted air-conditioning system and plumbing and of course appropriate autopsy tables. Due to imminent enactement of accreditation procedures, it is likely that in the near future, autopsies will only be performed in centres combining scientific competence and sanitary requirements.
