Bodies of Deceased Stored on Shelves in Prešov Hospital After Pathology Department Demolished

Share:

The bodies of deceased patients have been stored on shelves alongside boards and boxes at the Faculty Hospital with Polyclinic J.A. Reiman in Prešov, Slovakia's fourth-largest city in the east of the country. The unusual storage situation arose after construction workers demolished the hospital's pathology department in mid-April to make way for a new military hospital project, which has since been suspended due to concerns about poor-quality concrete. The demolition of the pathology department has significantly disrupted normal hospital operations in Prešov since April, forcing the facility to resort to makeshift storage solutions for deceased patients while the planned military hospital construction remains halted.
