The Ghana Police Hospital is set to embark on a mass burial for 300 unidentified and unclaimed bodies.
This exercise was part of its regular routine measures to decongest the Hospital Mortuary.
In a statement signed by the head of Public Affairs at the Ghana Police Hospital, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Yaw Nketia-Yeboah, said those unidentified bodies were made up of paupers, unknown former patients, abandoned bodies, unidentified accident and crime victims.
He, therefore, urged the general public to contact the Pathology Department of the Police Hospital for identification of 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 21 days from this announcement.”
He encouraged the general public to acquire the habit of always having an identification card on them to help police and others easily identify them whenever they were in any health crisis or involved in an accident.
