The Mortuaries and Funeral Facilities Agency has closed the Enchi Government Hospital Mortuary. Other facilities in the Western North Region were also shut down.
This happened because they were not following the rules for operating a mortuary. These rules are important for public safety and health.
Francis Ennin, the Registrar of the Mortuaries and Funeral Facilities Agency, led the team. They inspected several mortuaries in the region.
The inspection found that the Enchi Government Hospital Mortuary and other places had serious problems. These problems were violations of the regulations.
MoFFA's job is to make sure all places that handle bodies are safe and follow the law. This helps prevent the spread of diseases.
The temporary closure means these facilities cannot operate until they fix the issues. This is part of a larger effort to ensure compliance across the region.
Officials did not specify the exact violations found at the Enchi Government Hospital Mortuary.
Further action may be taken depending on how quickly the facilities correct the problems identified.
The agency's operations aim to uphold standards in funeral services throughout Ghana.
