The 37 Military Hospital has decided to perform a mass burial exercise on September 1 for dead that have been identified but have not yet been claimed as well as unidentified bodies at the hospital’s mortuary.
According to 37 Military Hospital, the move is being made to clear up the mortuary’s backlog, which is impacting their regular business operations.
In a statement released on August 2, the Ghanaian Armed Forces urged the families of the unclaimed remains to come to the 37 Military Hospital’s Department of Anatomical Pathology from Thursday, August 3, until Thursday, August 31, 2023, to pick up their loved ones.
“The 37 Military Hospital would like to bring to the attention of the general public a pending mass burial exercise for identified but unclaimed as well as unidentified bodies at the hospital’s morgue. The continued storage of these unclaimed bodies causes congestion in the mortuary and affects efficiency in its day-to-day operation. It must be noted that the last time the hospital conducted a mass burial was on 11 March 2017.
The entire public is requested to help with body identification prior to the mass burial ceremony on Friday, September 1, 2023.
