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 February 3, 2025, the hospital’s management explained that the move aims to enhance service delivery.
“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 with deceased relatives who 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 hospital management stated.
Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has apologized for any inconvenience caused and appealed for public cooperation.
“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your cooperation as we work to enhance our services,” the statement added.
The hospital noted that the refurbishment is necessary to improve service delivery at Ghana’s largest tertiary health facility.
