According to the DCE, the construction of the mortuary represents an important development intervention, particularly as the district previously had no mortuary facility to serve residents and support the work of health institutions.

She explained that although construction works on the facility had been completed, the Assembly was yet to install the necessary refrigeration equipment before the mortuary could become fully operational.

Madam Mary Haruna indicated that the installation of the refrigeration equipment would be the next phase of the project, after which the facility would be made available for use. The completion of the mortuary forms part of the Assembly's broader efforts to address infrastructure gaps in the district and improve access to essential services. It also reflects the administration's commitment to completing inherited development projects to ensure that public investments deliver their intended benefits.

The availability of a functional mortuary is expected to provide an important service to families, health facilities and other relevant institutions within the district. It will also help address the challenges associated with the absence of such a facility in Nadowli Kaleo.

The DCE further disclosed that the Assembly had prioritised the completion of other outstanding social infrastructure projects, including classroom blocks and Community based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds, to improve education and healthcare delivery.

The mortuary project is expected to contribute to improved social and healthcare support services once the installation of the refrigeration equipment is completed.
