National Security Minister Dr Horace Chang says, while certain private mortuaries will “not be happy” with the completion of the long-awaited Government forensic pathology autopsy suite which will save the State “a fortune” on storage fees, the facility “is a major and welcome addition to our growth as a... civilised society”.show more

Mi nuh business who vex di people finally get a professional, secure facility fi real justice

Same thing with crime. Reduction in crime is bad for certain kinds of businesses. Crime is a business driver and certain businesses thrive and flourish when crime is high. This forensic facility will help families find closure in a more timely manner. Autopsies take way too long.

State-of -the -Art Forensic Facility opens.First time since 1970.The long wait is coming to an end..Thank you Dr Chang.

Hats off to the government and Minister Chang for this development. Excellent news. Hope the maintenance plans have already been sorted out. Why no public morgue though?

From day one Holness gov show dem a invest in serious infrastructure not just pretty talk

This is a great step forward. Should really speed up the process of families of victims getting the returns of their loved ones for burial. Now on to finding the necessary staff.

I hope there adequate security because PNP nuh fraid fi bun dung back, because foud nah eat again

This is such a game changer. I remember attending an autopsy at a popular morgue downtown, and we were almost touching the corpse on the other table the way the space was tight. This is welcomed progress. #chooseJamaica

If some private place vex dat mean di gov finally stop di freeload pipeline good move
