Mortuary attendants at Bomadi General Hospital, Bomadi in Bomadi Local Government Area, Delta State, stack corpses on improvised wooden platforms after embalmment and abandon them outside.
Investigations revealed that the ugly situation is due to lack of space to preserve the dead bodies in the hospital’s overflowing mortuary.
A
visit by Niger Delta Voice to the morgue, revealed embalmed corpses
covered with blankets deserted. None of the doctors on duty agreed to
speak on the matter.Workers, who spoke on condition of anonymity, however, said they were
under pressure on daily basis because of the challenges faced by
patients. They called on government to resuscitate the hospital, which
is the only government healthcare facility in the area.
