The Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) has temporarily suspended the acceptance of fresh bodies and Brought-in-Dead (BID) cases as it undertakes a six-week refurbishment of its cold room facilities.
In a statement issued on Monday, February 3, 2025, the hospital’s management explained that the move is part of efforts to improve service delivery at Ghana’s largest tertiary healthcare facility.
“As a result, we regret to announce that we will be unable to accept fresh bodies or Brought-in-Dead (BID) cases during this period,” the statement read.
However, the restriction does not apply to cases originating from Korle Bu Teaching Hospital itself.
The hospital has urged bereaved families whose deceased relatives have been in the mortuary for three to six weeks or longer to make immediate arrangements for burial or transfer to alternative facilities.
“The refurbishment is expected to be completed within six weeks,” the management assured, apologizing for any inconvenience the temporary suspension may cause.
Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has called for public cooperation, emphasizing that the renovation is crucial to enhancing its services and maintaining high standards in healthcare delivery.
