The project will include expanding the mortuary building and refrigeration capacity at a cost of $5,300 (£3,800) in Manica province’s Chimoio Provincial Hospital.
The morgue that is managed by the municipality recently had its capacity increased from five to 60.
The city has recently been reporting an average of five deaths every day.
