Human body dissection is a prerequisite for the training of health professionals and the conduct of medical research. However, most Nigerian medical schools experience difficulty obtaining an adequate and regular supply of human tissue. Presently, the major source of anatomical material comes from unclaimed bodies collected from hospital mortuaries. However, one sure way to ensure a regular supply of bodies for anatomical dissection is to establish a whole body bequest program among the departments of anatomy in Nigerian medical schools. If such a program were to be supported by an appropriate legislative act of parliament, the supply of acceptable cadavers for anatomical teaching and research would be substantially increased. The author advocates for establishing a whole body bequest program among Nigerian medical schools.
人体解剖是培养卫生专业人员和进行医学研究的前提。然而，大多数尼日利亚医学院校在获得足够和定期的人体组织方面存在困难。目前，解剖学材料的主要来源是从医院太平间收集的无人认领的尸体。然而，确保有规律地提供用于解剖的尸体的一个可靠方法是在尼日利亚医学院校的解剖学系建立一个全遗体捐赠计划。如果这样的计划得到议会适当立法法案的支持，那么用于解剖教学和研究的可接受的尸体的供应将大大增加。作者主张在尼日利亚医学院校之间建立一个全遗体捐赠计划。
