Cold storage mortuary
Cold storage mortuary extension set up at DMCH
A cold storage mortuary extension has been set up at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) with the support of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to manage mass fatality incidents better.
DMCH is the primary location in Dhaka for processing victims after mass fatalities and for the storage of unidentified remains before being passed over to charity organisations for burial. But the current facilities do not meet the increasing needs and demands placed on the hospital.
So, the cold storage unit is aimed at reducing the stress on the hospital and its mortuary, allowing for the increased safe storage of dead bodies at low temperatures.
