In Kenya, autopsies are mostly required for the purpose of aiding a legal process, and also for planning purposes as the government needs them for a database that helps in policy formulation. Section 80 of the Health Act, 2017 permits the pathologist to conduct a postmortem on a person if the person, when alive, gave consent, if the kin give consent, or the examination is necessary for determining the cause of death.
