Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has assured the public that its mortuary services will be restored soon, with refurbishment work nearing completion.

The hospital, Ghana’s largest referral facility, had suspended the acceptance of dead bodies and Brought-in-Dead (BID) cases on February 3, 2025, to facilitate renovations at the mortuary.

Providing an update on Monday, March 10, the hospital’s Head of Public Relations, Mustapha Salifu, told the media that work is progressing steadily.

He noted that contractors are still on-site, but once servicing is completed, normal operations will resume.

Salifu further stated that the public has adhered to the earlier directive and assured that an official announcement will be made when the mortuary is fully operational again.

“We are still on it, as soon as the contractor wraps up we will let you know. Our focus is on finishing the servicing. People are also complying with the announcement that we made. We hope to finish up so that they can resume normal operation.” he said.
