The Police Hospital has announced that one hundred and sixty (160) “unidentified and unclaimed” bodies are due for mass burial as part of routine measures to decongest the hospital's mortuary.

In a press statement signed by the Public Relations Officer of the Police Hospital, DSP Yaw Nketia - Yeboah the exercise will take place on September 9, 2019, which is 21 days from today.

“The general public is hereby being informed to contact the Pathology Department of the Ghana Police Hospital for identification of the persons who might have not been seen for some time as part of the search. This is to avert a situation whereby such bodies are added to those earmarked for the mass burial after twenty-one (21) days from this announcement.” 

The statement further urged members of the general public to acquire the habit of always having their National Identification Cards or that of any organization on them to help police and others easily identify them whenever they are in any health crises or involved in an accident.
