Wa hospital mortuary breaks down

The Wa mortuary fridges have broken down, compelling relatives of the dead to either send the corpses to other district hospitals or bury them hurriedly.

Most burials now take place any day of the week instead of the usual weekends. Dr. Edward Gyader, Medical Director of the Wa hospital, told the Ghana News Agency that persistent power fluctuation caused the breakdown. He said the hospital was making efforts to rectify the problem.
