Africa-Press – Angola. The President of the Republic, João Lourenço, clarified Tuesday, in Luanda, that the future Institute of Legal Medicine will be a forensic unit focused on scientific training.
The Head of State was speaking to the press at the end of a field trip, which took him to the Hospital Geral dos Cajueiros and the future Institute of Legal Medicine, with the latter seeing some slowdown in the pace of work.
Regarding the institute, João Lourenço said that the Executive is planning a unit aimed at training and also to meet the needs of the police, as the unit will be useful whenever there are cases of deaths with criminal signs.
But, continued the President, “judging by the number of drawers that the infrastructure will have, around 200, it will certainly end up also performing the function of a morgue, taking into account the conditions in which municipal morgues still find themselves”.
On the other hand, the statesman defended the need to accelerate the pace of works, having received guarantees from the contractor that as soon as the financial issue is resolved, its completion could be a fact within a year.
Accompanied by the Secretary of State for Health, Leonardo Edurado, the governor of Luanda, Manuel Homem, among other entities, the statesman toured the different areas of the project whose implementation is around 14 percent.
