The management of Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital has suspended the acceptance of fresh bodies or Brought-In-Dead (BID) cases.

 
A statement issued by Management said the decision was to make room for the refurbishment of the cold room facilities to improve service delivery. 


The refurbishment is expected to be completed within six weeks.

 
It, however, explained that the restriction does not apply to cases originating from Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

 
“Therefore, we kindly urge bereaved families with deceased relatives, who have been in the mortuary for three to six weeks or longer to make immediate arrangements for burial or transfer to alternative facilities,” the statement said.

  
“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your cooperation as we work to enhance our services.”
