Another main reason is that dead bodies brought from the outside have to be kept there for a long time, sometimes as long as one year.
The situation is now under control, following a temporary decision taken not to accept the bodies brought by the police, he has told BBC Sandeshaya.
Those bodies are being accepted by the morgue at the chief JMO’s office, which is the biggest in Colombo, and morgues at other hospitals, said Dr. Jasinghe.
A very bad smell emanated briefly from the Colombo National Hospital’s morgue, which is lacking in space and facilities, says its director Dr. Anil Jasinghe.
