Five casual workers and some officials of the Koforidua Regional Hospital are being questioned by the New Juaben police in connection with the loss of 85 bodies from the hospital�s mortuary.
Times investigation revealed that the loss was detected last week following an internal audit check at the request of the hospital. A source close to the hospital administration said the disappearance of the bodies had caused a loss GH�13,300 in revenue to the hospital.
It is believed that the bodies did not just disappear, they were taken out by relatives who may have paid mortuary attendants to look the other way while the bodies were removed from the freezers onto vehicles and driven home.
The GH�13,300, therefore, represents the total amount that should have gone to the hospital if the bodies had been officially paid for.
