The authorities of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital have announced their intention to conduct a mass burial for all unknown, unclaimed, and unidentified bodies. <\/p>\n

This decision is driven by the urgent need to decongest the hospital\u2019s mortuary, which has exceeded its capacity.<\/p>\n

The hospital revealed the bodies scheduled for the mass burial in two weeks have been accumulated over varying periods ranging from one to three years.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Some are yet to be claimed by their respective families despite efforts to reach out.<\/p>\n

In a press release, the hospital authorities appealed to families who may have relatives\u2019 bodies in the mortuary to come forward and claim them before the scheduled mass burial.<\/p>\n

It added that the move comes as a necessary step to address the challenges posed by the overcrowded mortuary.<\/p>\n
