 Anambra Govt Sets June 5 Deadline for Mortuary Registration, Threatens Sanctions for Defaulters 

‎

‎By MaryAnn Chukwuma 

‎

‎

‎The Anambra State Government has issued a June 5, 2026 deadline for all mortuary operators in the state to register or renew their licences, warning that sanctions will be applied against non-compliant facilities.

‎

‎The directive was issued in a public notice released yesterday at the Jerome Udoji Secretariat Complex, Awka, by the Ministry of Health. The statement was signed by Dr. Chukwulobelu Ugochukwu, Director of Medical Services, on behalf of the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Afam Obidike.

‎

‎According to the Ministry, the directive aligns with Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s healthcare reform agenda and the provisions of the Anambra State Public Health Law. The move is aimed at strengthening regulatory oversight, ensuring proper operational standards, preventing the spread of infectious diseases, and curbing illegal handling and mutilation of corpses.

‎

‎The Ministry stated that all mortuaries currently operating without registration with the Directorate of Medical Services must report to the Ministry of Health in Awka for immediate registration. Facilities with expired or soon-to-expire licences are also required to renew without delay.

‎

‎Hospitals offering mortuary services have been directed to register their mortuary units separately, irrespective of the hospital’s general registration status. The directive also covers all mortuary facilities operating illegally or without government approval within the state.

‎

‎The Ministry said it is currently updating its database of registered mortuary facilities to enhance monitoring and compliance. It warned that full enforcement and inspection exercises will commence statewide immediately after the June 5 deadline, with appropriate sanctions applied to defaulters and illegal operators in accordance with the law.

‎

‎Dr. Obidike expressed appreciation to stakeholders for their cooperation and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to improving healthcare service delivery across Anambra.
