Several families preparing to bury their loved ones this weekend have been left stranded due to a strike by the Mortuary Workers Union over unmet demands.

A visit to the Ho Municipal Hospital revealed that members of the union were not at their posts, leaving only non-unionized staff to continue working.

This disruption has caused significant distress to families who had already made arrangements for funerals.

At the Ho Teaching Hospital Mortuary, some family members expressed their frustration over the situation, as they had completed preparations to bury their deceased relatives over the weekend.
