New Forensic Pathology Institute Facility is nearing completion

The R281 million project is a larger, purpose-built, modern forensic pathology facility that is located at the entrance to Groote Schuur Hospital. The project is expected to reach practical completion in mid-2020, if everything goes according to plan. Once it is complete, the Observatory Forensic Pathology Institute will provide Level 4 forensic services aimed at extracting, analysing and preserving the integrity of evidence for use by the criminal justice system.
