Problems For Persons Dying outside Home

Everybody preferred to die in home in every country. In India in some religion people will not allow the dead bodies inside of their home if they died outside of their home because of many misconceptions.

There are also some problems for whose who are dying in home in countries like India. It is very difficult to get a death certificate for legal purpose for whose who died in the home . It is also problematic for patients whose who are dying at home with medico legal background.

So dying in hospital are much helpful in these cases. It is also helpful for organ harvest from patients whose who are dying or dead in hospitals.
