Enchi mortuary closed over safety rule violations

The Mortuaries and Funeral Facilities Agency has closed the Enchi Government Hospital Mortuary. Other funeral facilities in the Western North Region were also shut down.

This action was taken because the facilities had broken important rules set by the agency. These rules are in place to ensure public safety and proper handling of bodies.

Francis Ennin, the Registrar of the Mortuaries and Funeral Facilities Agency, led a team. They visited several mortuaries in the region as part of a compliance check.

During the inspections, violations of regulations were found at the Enchi Government Hospital Mortuary. The specific violations have not yet been fully detailed.

The agency's role is to make sure all mortuaries and funeral homes operate safely and according to law. This closure shows the agency is serious about enforcing these standards.

The temporary closure means that services at these facilities must stop until the issues are corrected. This is to protect public health and uphold dignity.

Further details about what corrections are needed and when the facilities might reopen are expected from the agency.
