The National Forensic Institute activated an emergency autopsy suite in Cali after the earthquake caused serious damage to its headquarters in the city. The institution deployed rented equipment to maintain operations amid the crisis situation.
The National Forensic Institute headquarters was left half-destroyed, forcing the forensic entity to seek alternative solutions to continue autopsy procedures. Rented refrigeration units and makeshift spaces became part of the emergency response.
Available data indicates that the National Forensic Institute has had to manage more than 140 bodies in the context of the emergency generated by the earthquake in the region.
