NCRHA denies body bag shortage claims

The North Cen­tral Re­gion­al Health Au­thor­i­ty has re­ject­ed claims cir­cu­lat­ing on­line about a short­age of body bags, say­ing sup­plies re­main suf­fi­cient.

The Au­thor­i­ty said there is no short­age at this time and that stock lev­els are sta­ble, with ad­di­tion­al rou­tine sup­plies al­ready sched­uled as part of its stan­dard in­ven­to­ry man­age­ment process­es.

It urged the pub­lic to re­ly on ver­i­fied in­for­ma­tion shared through its of­fi­cial plat­forms and those of the Min­istry of Health, warn­ing against mis­lead­ing con­tent de­signed to cre­ate un­nec­es­sary con­cern.

The NCRHA said it con­tin­ues to en­sure that all nec­es­sary re­sources are in place to de­liv­er qual­i­ty and ef­fi­cient care to pa­tients.
