Aundh Chest Hospital's morgue facility remains dysfunctional

The morgue facility at Aundh Chest Hospital (ACH) wears a deserted look, as the mortuary has been dysfunctional for the past month. ACH is the sole hospital in the district admitting TB patients.

The hospital, with a capacity of 120 beds, relies on the morgue facility of Aundh District Hospital (ADH), a 280-bed hospital. However, ADH has only 6-unit mortuary facilities, with only 2 fully functional. The remaining four were not operational until recently, when repairs were undertaken. However, they now admit bodies for only short durations due to ongoing infrastructural developments.

According to sources, ADH's morgue facility has a total of 6 units, of which only two were fully operational, while the examining four were non-operational.
