The Accra Police hospital has called on persons who had deposited bodies at the hospital\u2019s mortuary to claim them ahead of a scheduled decongestion exercise.<\/p>\n
According to the hospital, about 120 unknown bodies would be given mass burial if they are not claimed within eight days.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”phL7us4eWvgNi0PusD72XVkpZDFZSCVo”]According to the Public Relations Officer Juliana Obeng, in an interview with Citi News,<\/strong> this is because there is an over ceded number of bodies in the unknown department, which has resulted to the morgue fridge to be over working.<\/p>\n \u201cThe number of bodies in the morgue is more than the fridge can take,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n She added that the exercise will involve the city authorities, as they are expected to provide the land, man power and the resources to do the exercise.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are now waiting for the city authority to tell us if the land we are supposed to use for the mass burial exercise is ready; so once they tell us it is ready we will go on with the exercise,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
