The Ghana Police Service has announced its plans to undertake a mass burial of some 200 unclaimed and unidentified bodies at the Police Hospital.

In a video, the Service explained that exercise scheduled for the first quarter of 2025 is part of efforts to decongest the hospital and ensure proper maintenance of its storage unit.

Corporal Felix Kwaku-Dua further revealed that the deadline for the identification and collection of bodies is 28th February, 2025.

As such, "members of the public are being urged to check with the Police Hospital Pathology Department to identify and claim any missing or deceased relatives," he said.

After the aforementioned date, all unclaimed bodies will be included in the mass burial.

The Hospital management appeals to the general public to take note of this development and assist in spreading the information.
