It is situated in the small St Francis Street behind the Medical College (which is opposite the SE corner of the General Hospital complex. This police morgue is suitable for practising the asubha-kamma!!hana. Bhikkhus normally do not need to get official permission to enter here and they can walk in and have a look. (Otherwise, ask permission from the director, Dr. Alwis, or from one of the anatomists. The monk at the nearby Central Hospital Vajiramaya - see above - can help too.) There is very poor hygiene and one needs to be careful. Don’t go bare-footed into the cutting theaters as there are scalpels, blood stains, etc., on the floor. Open on all days, but on Saturdays and Sundays only in the morning. Old corpses in various stages of decay are in the cool-cells next to the main autopsy room and can be viewed too. Nearby, off Kinsey Road on the backside of the Hospital, is the Hospital Mortuary where autopsies are also done.
