GPHC’s mortuary to be modernised

Jan 25, 2013 News

 

Plans are in the pipeline to improve the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC)’s Mortuary, according to Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Michael Khan.
The CEO made this disclosure last week during a donation/presentation at the hospital’s Maternity Unit.
Khan said that the hospital recently received some new equipment which will be used to update the mortuary and according to him, “the incidence of the rats, will be a thing of the past.”
In October last, family members of 20-year-old Sule Brian Assanah, were greeted with a disturbing sight when they appeared at the GPHC’s Mortuary for their dead relative’s post mortem Examination.
The 20-year-old died after his neck slashed by a knife-wielding assailant, in the presence of a policeman. According to information, the unarmed police officer had approached the suspect who was wanted for another offence.
Assanah reportedly interjected, asking the suspect why he was giving the police a hard time. The man who was seated on a bicycle reportedly got off, slit the 20-year-old’s throat and rode away.
The 20-year-old was pronounced dead at the GPHC and on the day of the post mortem, family members noticed that the left side of Assanah’s face had been nibbled at, while his nose had been completely eaten.
An investigation was launched into the incident and it was confirmed that rats had eaten part of the dead man’s face. Since then, maintenance work was being done at the facility to improve its services.
Last week, Michael Khan also explained that the hospital tries to improve its services on a daily basis. He added that another plan for this year is to do more training with the staffers at the facility.
