The administration of Osun State University Teaching Hospital, situated in Osogbo, Osun State, has issued a critical announcement concerning the overcrowding in its mortuary, which has resulted in an overwhelming number of unclaimed bodies.
In response to the concerning situation, the hospital management has declared a 14-day window for families with bodies in the hospital’s mortuary between January 2019 and June 2023 to claim them.
A statement released by the hospital’s management on Saturday emphasized the urgency of the matter, stating that if bodies remain unclaimed after the designated 14-day period, the hospital will proceed with a mass burial to alleviate congestion in the mortuary.
"The management of UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, wishes to inform the general public that the hospital’s mortuary is presently congested and crowded with unclaimed bodies,” the statement reads.
“In view of this development, the management hereby calls on relatives who have corpses in the mortuary unit of the hospital between January 2019 and June 2023 to come and retrieve them within 14 days of this announcement.
“It should be noted that the management will resort to mass burial of all unclaimed bodies after 14 days of this announcement as an alternative to decongest the mortuary.”
This decision underscores the hospital's commitment to managing its facilities efficiently while ensuring the dignified handling of deceased individuals. Relatives and concerned parties are urged to heed the call and take prompt action to claim their loved ones before the deadline expires.
