General Manager of Dormaa Presby Hospital, Rev. Dr. Isaac Appiah, has denied reports that his outfit is to be blamed for a missing corpse at the hospital’s mortuary.
On Wednesday, June 3, 2020, Rainbowradioonline.com, reported that a family at Dormaa Ahenkro was after the Dormaa mortuary over the disappearance of their deceased relative.
The body, together with one other, were deposited at the morgue by the Dormaa Police after a car accident. However, days after the bodies were deposited in the hospital, the family of one of the deceased claimed the body released to them was not that of their late relative, Wofa Atta.
Speaking to GhanaWeb about the issue, Rev Appiah explained that the case is between two families and the Police as the intermediary.
He explained, his outfit was only mandated to allow family members have access to the bodies for identification with escorts from the Police.
He added that the hospital only had the mandate to release the dead bodies to the families after both families have fully identified their relatives
“The two bodies were brought to the hospital on Sunday (May 24, 2020). Because Monday was a holiday, one of the families came to the morgue on Tuesday(May 26) to identify their body with police officers.
Two members from the family of Wofa Atta also came later to view the remaining body and they confirmed that was their body. And for that matter, the morgue people also registered them, gave that body the mortuary tag…”
He said the mishap happened because representatives of the two families failed to identify their own body when they reported to the morgue for viewing and identification.
“So last week Friday morning, the first family came back for their body after inspection…Then yesterday, they were coming for the body, when the body was removed for them, the other family members said it wasn’t theirs. But meanwhile, it is the body that Friday, they came to identify. The records are there. So what happened is that those who came to identify their body couldn’t identify their own body. And those who came earlier was may be given a body which does not belong to them. But for us as a hospital, we don’t even come into the case. Because they are dealing with the Police.”
He reiterated that the case was handed over to the Police to settle since they brought the accident bodies to the morgue.
“When they came yesterday, we called the Police and handed everything to the Police. Because we made them understand that it is between them and the Police and not us. Because the body was brought by the Police, so we advised them to go the Police… So that if anything at all, the Police can issue directive so that some of the Police officers can go to where they buried the first body to cross-check.”, he told GhanaWeb in the exclusive interview.
Meanwhile, the Police have met the two families to resolve the issue.

Six people have died and around 30 others hospitalised in Tunisia since Sunday after drinking tainted homemade alcohol.
The alcohol was consumed across several towns and cities in the province of Kairouan.
The cases first came to light on Sunday – the day of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
State news agency TAP reports that a man and a woman were arrested in the town of Hajeb Al Ayoun on suspicion of selling the tainted brew and 87 litres seized by police.
Toxic levels of methanol that is sometimes contained in homemade alcohol can be fatal or lead to visual impairment.
There have been several cases of methanol poisoning in Tunisia over the years. Consumption of illegally sold brew is common because it is cheaper and more accessible to the majority, particularly in poorer areas.
The country has eased coronavirus containment measures but some restrictions still remain: large public events are banned, a permit is required for travel between regions and shopping malls, bars and restaurants remain closed.

Lebanon’s labour ministry is investigating the death of a Ghanaian domestic worker after an Al Jazeera investigation revealed she feared for her life because of alleged abuse by her employers.
Faustina Tay was found dead in the early hours of March 14 in a car park under her employer’s fourth-floor home in Beirut’s southern suburbs.
In the week leading up to her death, the 23-year-old sent dozens of desperate text messages and more than 40 minutes of voice notes to activists and her brother in Ghana.
She said she had been beaten on at least four occasions by her employer, Hussein Dia, and Ali Kamal, the owner of domestic workers recruitment agency Al Kamal Trading and Services which brought her to Lebanon.
Tay said Kamal assaulted her alongside an employee named Hussein. All three denied the allegations when contacted by Al Jazeera.
“I’m scared. I’m scared they might kill me,” Tay had said in a voice note sent to Canada-based activist group This Is Lebanon two days before she was found dead.
Faustina Tay’s body was discovered in a car park under her employers’ fourth-storey home in Beirut.
Al Jazeera provided Lebanon’s labour ministry and Internal Security Forces with Tay’s text messages and voice notes on March 20. Labour Minister Lamia Yammine told Al Jazeera on Wednesday the ministry had launched an investigation concurrent to a criminal investigation by Lebanon’s judiciary.
“It’s our duty to look into these cases and investigate with the employer and agent, even as the public prosecutor investigates at the same time,” Yammine said.
She added that the investigation could lead to the employer and the agency being placed on a blacklist, meaning Dia would no longer be able to hire domestic workers, and Kamal’s agency would lose its license.
Kamal previously told Al Jazeera he brought roughly 1,000 foreign domestic workers to Lebanon each year.
Joumana Haymour, the head of the labour ministry’s inspection department, told Al Jazeera Kamal’s testimony had been recorded, and Dia had agreed to come in for questioning on April 6.
In the series of messages that began on March 7, Tay said she had been repeatedly beaten by Dia and Kamal between January and March after she asked to return to Ghana due to harsh working conditions, which included no days off, an average of six hours sleep at night and little privacy.
This MUST STOP !! R.I.P. sister Faustina Tay 🕊ðŸ¤ðŸ•Šhttps://t.co/0deHe7zyyR
— Naomi Campbell (@NaomiCampbell) March 27, 2020
She said she was not given a room but slept on a sofa in the kitchen. Tay also said she was beaten by Dia on March 10 and by Kamal on March 11 before being returned to Dia’s house.
Less than three days later, she was dead.
Tay’s brother Joshua Demyana told Al Jazeera his sister would likely be buried in Lebanon because of the difficulty of getting her body repatriated to Ghana given that the country’s airports are closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Her father sent a letter to Ghana’s foreign ministry on March 26, pressing for an investigation into his daughter’s death.
Kafala system
Human rights groups have long called on Lebanon to abolish the Kafala system under which Tay was employed.
Instead of being covered by the country’s labour law, some 250,000 foreign domestic workers in Lebanon are employed under the system that binds the legal residence of domestic workers to their employers.
Domestic workers can only terminate their contract with the consent of the employer. Otherwise, they become illegal residents and can be jailed and deported.
The system has facilitated widespread abuse, ranging from late or non-payment of wages to assault and sexual harassment.
Yammine said the labour ministry was working with the International Labor Organization and groups like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International towards strengthening the contracts between employers and domestic workers, including a provision that would allow the latter to terminate the contract without the consent of the employer.
The process, she added, is currently in the consultation phase.

Family of former Chief Executive Officer of Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Tsatsu Tsikata, has debunked rumors suggesting one of their own has passed away at the Ridge Hospital.
A family member who spoke to GhanaWeb noted that reports by some local media houses with the suggestions were fake and unfortunate.
Reacting to the reportage, the source stated categorically that “it’s all false and Tsatsu Tsikata is very much alive and wellâ€.
It was reported earlier that an elderly man had died of the novel coronavirus after visiting the Ridge hospital on Thursday.
The demise of the man, they added was the son of a popular Ghanaian musician who they alleged failed to immediately disclose the travel history of the deceased following the admission of his father who had recently returned from a trip to the United States.
Apparently, it was the father of Ghanaian hiplife legend and former president of the Musician Union of Ghana (MUSIGHA), Bice Osei Kuffour, known in showbiz circles as Obour whose father had died at the said hospital.
In a statement released shortly after his father’s demise, Obour said his father, Nana Osei Boansi Kuffuor passed away after doctors said “he is likely to be a confirmed Covid-19” but described claims that he deprived hospital staff of relevant information as false.

A 21-year-old form 2 business student of the Wa T.I Ahmadiyya Senior High School in the Upper West Region died after falling from the first floor of the dormitory block.
The student who is a native of Kachiau, a farming community in the Wa West District, has been identified as Kojo Issac.
Some students who said they saw him a moment before he died, while they were studying, told 3news.com that at around 11pm on 11th February 2020 they saw Issac getting down from his bed and went outside the room when his mates were asleep.
According to them, they thought he had stepped out to go and urinate, only to hear a loud cry outside but they rushed outside to see Issac lying on the ground with a fractured neck.
The House One Prefect, known as Sei who is also the school father of Issac told 3news.com he ate with Issac at around 10pm before they all went to bed that fateful day.
He said the Assistant Senior Housemaster quickly arranged a tricycle transport which is popularly called “Mahama camboo†in Wa to transport the boy to the Upper West Regional Hospital.
The boy was later transferred on Wednesday, 12 February 2020 to Tamale Teaching Hospital for further treatment but he died upon arrival.
He was buried on Friday, February 14, 2020 at Kachiau.
Sister of the deceased Matta Burgur lamented about the incident but said the family was informed about it Wednesday morning when he was being transferred to Tamale Teaching Hospital.
The authorities at the Wa T.I Ahmadiyya Senior High School would not comment on the issue when contacted.
Experts Advice
Meanwhile, 3news.com spoke to some experts on what people can do to save lives in circumstances like the one that led to the death of the 21-year-old student.
The Head, Directorate of Trauma and Orthopedics, at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, Dr. Dominic Konadu-Yeboah explained that falling from a story building onto a hard floor constitutes high energy trauma.
This, he also said, exposes victims to a high chance of cervical spine injury.
While explaining what needs to done in such a situation, he indicated that, the head and neck of the victim should be held still, avoiding all injudicious movements.
“This is to prevent a fractured neck bone from compressing the delicate adjacent spinal cord, whose injury could cause acute respiratory failure and or sudden death or permanent paralysis (wheelchair bound)â€
He said, in the case of Kojo Isaac, he should have been placed flat with face up and the neck supported by placing any suitable objects on either side of the neck that prevents rotation or side to side movement of the neck during transportation to hospital.
An Orthopedic surgeon at Tema General Hospital, Dr Odei-Ansong Francis said cervical spine injury especially when higher up the spine is likely to cause the death of most patients.
And when also transported in a bad position may also cause death.
He said edema or swelling around the cord can also contribute.
A Surgeon at St. Joseph Hospital at Koforidua in the Eastern Region Dr. Wilfred Addo also said spine injuries are the number one cause of early deaths in injuries.
“Therefore it should be the priority of transporters to protect the spine during the handling and transport of injured patients.â€
He listed ways it can be done in order to help the situation:
Cervical spine protection in neck collar, move the patient in log roll on spine board, provide adequate resuscitation, transfer to level 1 trauma centre where there is a neurosurgical unit.
