The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), yesterday, insisted that all autopsies performed at the
CEO Michael Khan
hospital mortuary are free.
The hospital stated that if at any time monies are solicited for the service, the matter should be immediately reported to the Office of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
According to the CEO, Michael Khan, the notification comes after allegations surfaced that persons were being asked by unknown personnel at the GPHC to pay for the service.
Khan was unable to say whether an official complaint was received on the matter, but he said that there were rumours of such occurrence.
He said that by issuing the statement in order to inform the public, the hospital is “nipping this one in the bud.”
