Parirenyatwa Hospital Threatens A Pauper's Burial For 32 Unclaimed Bodies
Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals has threatened to conduct paupers’ burials for 32 bodies which have remained unclaimed at the health institution since March this year.
A pauper’s funeral, also referred to as a Public Health Funeral, is a simple funeral paid for by the local council when the family of the deceased is unable to, or no family can be traced.
The hospital gave the next of kin 21 days to claim the bodies, saying they had clogged its mortuary facilities, NewsDay Zimbabwe reported citing a statement issued by the health institution. Reads the statement:
The hospital is requesting relatives or family members of the dearly deceased persons to come forward and claim the bodies and give them a decent burial.
The deceased are adults aged between 22 and 80 years.
