Two bodies stuck at St. Anne’s mortuary after refrigeration engines break down
Two bodies, both of former teachers, are stuck in limbo at St. Anne's Catholic Hospital after the two engines powering the facility's mortuary broke down two days ago, hospital sources and police have said.
Two former teachers, Abu Seidu and Achempong Amafom Makline, are trapped at St. Anne's Catholic Hospital's mortuary following a refrigeration breakdown two days ago, according to hospital sources and police. Seidu, a former teacher from Gindabour, and Makline, from Berekum in the Bono Region, were identified based on their respective death notifications.
Seidu's body had been deposited by police following a controversial incident where the police constable who arrived to collect it was lynched. Makline's body was deposited by officials of the Ghana Education Service in Daboya. Makline reportedly complained of ill health before arriving at the Daboya Health Centre for treatment, after which he passed away.
The families of both victims have yet to collect their loved ones, complicating the preservation process. The two engines powering the mortuary's refrigerators, procured in 2013, have not undergone a major overhaul in 13 years. This is the third breakdown of this nature this year, prompting concerns about the facility's maintenance. Hospital management has yet to provide a timeline for fixing the engines.
