Planning & Management of Hospital Mortuary :: HOSPIAD

Mortuary or Morgue is the place where dead bodies are preserved for a period before cremation. There is a slight difference between mortuary and morgue.

"All hospital death cases both MLC and Non-MLC , and all brought dead cases brought to Hospital are kept in hospital mortuary.While natural death occurring at home are kept in morgue which are usually operated by cremation ground authorities."

Hospital mortuary is a very important component of hospital as death of a patient occurring at odd hours cannot be taken home as they come far from areas. Further:-

1. It is the moral duty of authority or relative to ensure proper respect and proper handling of the dead body after the soul leaves.
2. Mortuary/ Morgue is the place where bodies are temporarily preserved before the cremation.
3. Mortuary services are provided by the hospitals only to preserve the dead bodies in case of hospital death.
4. It also keeps all Medico legal death cases on request of investing officer before a post mortem / autopsy is carried out.
5. The mortuary comes under Control of Deptt. of Forensic Medicine where post mortem service is available.
6. Where an autopsy is advised to ascertain cause of death it is under control of pathology department.

There is also a difference between Postmortem and Autopsy.

"Postmortem is carried out on the request of investigating officer/ police/SDM for investigating the cause of death.Autopsy is done by hospital to find out clinical cause of death."

For autopsy consent of relatives are required where as for postmortem no consent of relative is required being medico legal case.


The presentation describes the organisation and management of mortuary in a Hospital.

Hospital Security System :: HOSPIAD

Security is one of the main issues in any big organisation including Hospital.

Security in a hospital is most important because of:-

1. Hospital is a people intensive place.
2. Provide services to stick people round the clock.
3. Any  body has an access to any part of the hospital any time for advise and treatment.
4. The hospital atmosphere is always filled with emotions, excitements care and happiness, death and sorrow.
5. The hospital staff operates in a tense atmosphere resulting in irritation, conformation, conflicts and aggression, threatening life of hospital staff.
6. Hospital uses very costly equipments, fixtures and machines whose safety is essential. 
7. Not only hospital but also safety of patients, attendants and their property is the moral duty of the hospital.

The organisation may have its own security personnel or can be hired from a recognized security agency.The number of security personnel to be deployed depend  on the size of the hospital and its lay out plan.

Deployment of security personnel only does not complete the security system unless they are provided with security gazettes like metal detectors, torch and baton and uniform.

With the advance of technology the organizations are moving towards close circuit TV and cameras in which security can be monitored and recorded 24x7 which can be reviewed latter if be needed.

The present presentation deals with the planning and organisation of security system in a hospital.
