Episode Details

A stalled $203 million mortuary project in Kimberley, abandoned for two years after its initial contractor failed, is emblematic of deeper systemic failures in the province’s health infrastructure. With the old facility condemned and services nonexistent, the new site—situated next to West End Hospital—stands as a haunting symbol of neglect. Despite legal hurdles and mounting costs, officials aim to restart construction by January 2027, with completion targeted for July 2028. Critics argue it’s too little, too late, as mismanagement and underfunding plague the system, leaving health workers unpaid and communities without critical forensic services.
