I recently reported on a medical device salesman who operated on behalf of a doctor and had his patient put into a brain death. This is one of the reasons why doctors are talking about setting up operating room CCTV, and Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center has decided to record operating room CCTV for the first time.

I am a reporter.

It is Gyeonggi Provincial Anseong Hospital in Gyeonggi Province. We wanted to reopen in February with 238 beds and 5 operating rooms.

When I enter the operating room, I notice CCTV which is hanging on the ceiling and lighting the operating table.

The CCTV installed in the operating room records 3 million pixels of motion and facial expression of the subject and stores the situation in the operating room as it is.

Recording is performed only when the patient or carer agrees prior to surgery.

After 30 days of storage, they are permanently discarded.

The hospital said it was the first hospital in the country to prevent medical accidents and sexual harassment that may happen to an anesthetized patient.

[Yong-Sook Kim / Anseong Hospital, Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center: Because it is a public hospital, we want to prevent CCTV violation and lead CCTV trial for patient's right to know.]

Patients are welcome.

[Jang Wol-hee / Gyeonggi Aseong-si Story: (medical accident) is what we can do without knowing. The patient does not know (if anesthetized). In terms of protecting the patient ... .]

[Chung Hyun-joo / Anseong-si, Gyeonggi-do: It's about the medical staff and what happens later. Is there any evidence of CCTV if there is a problem after the accident?

CCTV recording of operating room of Anseong Hospital will be piloted next month through labor-management agreement.

Gyeonggi Province announced that it plans to install CCTV in the operating rooms of six metropolitan hospitals in Suwon and Uijeongbu by early next year.
