Post Mortem Examination (PME) which used to conducted only in the day time are now being conducted round the clock at Osmania General Hospital’s mortuary. It was learnt that it was initiated from second week of May this year.
Earlier, those who have lost their loved ones in the evening or night had to wait till morning for the mortuary to open, and the PME to be conducted. The hospital’s Forensic Medicine and Toxicology departments perform the autopsies from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
If someone brought the body from far away district and reached the OGH mortuary by evening, they had to wait till next day. It added to their problems since they have to find accommodation for the night and other resources such as food.
