The Management of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has announced the temporary suspension of its cold room facilities to facilitate refurbishment aimed at improving service delivery.
In a statement issued on February 3, 2025, the hospital informed the public, particularly bereaved families, that it "would be unable to accept fresh bodies or Brought-in-Dead (BID) cases during this period. However, the restriction does not apply to cases originating from the hospital itself."
The statement noted that the refurbishment will be completed within six weeks.
Consequently, the hospital has urged 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.
"We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your cooperation as we work to enhance our services," the hospital management stated.
