VICTORIA – The BC government has appointed Dr. Jatinder (Taj) Baidwan to the position of chief coroner with the B.C. Coroners Service. He is the first Indo-Canadian doctor appointed to this top position.

Prior to joining the B.C. Coroners Service, Baidwan was the executive vice-president and chief medical officer for Vancouver Island Health Authority, now known as Island Health. During that time, he co-managed operations and was responsible for delivering comprehensive health care to the nearly one million people who call Vancouver Island home.
In his seven-and-a-half-year tenure as the chief medical officer for the B.C. Coroners Service, Baidwan has helped lead work to realign the operations of the coroner’s service and created a comprehensive postmortem diagnostic services network throughout the province. He served as the organizational lead for the investigation of the deaths and recommendations that came from the 2021 heat dome, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic in response to its increased death toll.
