The Korle Bu Teaching Hospital says it will be conducting a mass burial of unclaimed bodies on Monday, September 5, 2011 at its mortuary. The purpose of this exercise is to decongest the mortuary and rid it of the increasing number of unclaimed bodies. Management of the hospital is therefore giving the general public and families who may have bodies of relatives in the mortuary for over five months to contact the hospital for the release of such bodies from Monday, August 29, to Friday, September 2, 2011, ahead of the mass burial. A statement signed by Mustapha Salifu, Public Relations Officer of the hospital, pleaded the co-operation of the general public and families with unclaimed bodies in the mortuary.
