Medical (general)
How would you say מכתב פטירה in English? Somehow a letter of death doesn't sound right and it is not a death certificate. It is simply a hospital letter that describes events and tests leading to a patient's death.
Thank you!
Thank you!

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Since this is actually more like a summary (diagnoses, lab tests and illness description) rather than a declaration or a report, I will use Eynati's suggestion. Thank you all! Thanks, Eynati!"

I did not say morbidity. I said morbidity and mortality report, which is how it is referred to in U.S. hospitals (commonly abbreviated to "M and M Report")

Eynati
: Indeed, but that's not what Suzan asked about. Yours is hatzharat ptira, which is a form with a million boxes (incl. for a witness, and who is the next of kin that was notified, and which funeral establishment is dealing with the body, and so forth).
