Publisher Summary Forensic Toxicology in Venezuela could be said to have originated on May 7th, 1878 with the Medical-Forensic Code of Instructions Promulgation, which described in the Third Section of Title III, named Chemical Expertise, the standards for taking samples, conservation, and procedures to follow in cases of poisoning with homicidal intent. In Venezuela, the study of toxicology within Toxicological Centers has developed erratically, due in some measure to lack of governmental support and/or sponsorship from national universities. Similarly, there is a dissociation between clinical and analytical toxicology, thus impeding excellence in training professionals and in the development of programs that permit a mutual strengthening of both subjects. There is no Toxicologist's registry at the national level despite several independent efforts from interested people; this probably has occasioned a dispersion of professionals' resources, which are definitely lost when they are forced to acquire other specialties to fulfill their economical sustenance. |
