Nepal faces challenges in managing unidentified and unclaimed bodies due to constrained resources. Police adhere to established protocols for identification and family tracing. However, a critical shortage of mortuary space within hospitals severely limits the duration remains can be preserved. This poses difficulties in thorough identification efforts and respectful handling of the deceased. The issue highlights the need for increased capacity in forensic services and potentially revised procedures for managing unidentified remains. Ultimately, balancing legal requirements with logistical constraints remains a key concern for Nepali authorities. The situation underscores a broader issue of resource allocation within the nation’s public health and law enforcement systems.
