II. Reasons for donation refusal

Under the terms of the Medical (Therapy, Education and Research) Act (Cap. 175), the School may reject a body donation even though a bequest has been executed prior to death.

Typically, the  School utilizes each donated body within 18 to 36 months. Bodies are used in the teaching of medical undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

Where no request exists for the return of the body after use, the School will assume responsibility for the disposal of the remains in compliance with standing health and infectious diseases control guidelines.
