CCTV cameras be installed at casualty wings, OP counters
The government has issued orders to the Director of Health Services and the Director of Medical Education, giving general instructions on strengthening measures to prevent violence against doctors and other health workers, Health Minister Veena George said on Thursday. The order was issued on the basis of a discussion held by the Chief Minister on August 9, against the backdrop of the increasing incidents of violence against doctors across the State. Ms. George said all measures would be taken to ensure safe working places for doctors. CCTV cameras should be installed at casualty wings and OP counters, including at private hospitals. The CCTV facility in hospitals should be linked to police aid posts, if the latter was there.More Related News
