I recently reported on the news that a salesperson who sold a medical machine instead of a doctor operated on it and the patient was in a state of brain death. It is a matter of a person's life, and the CCTV is kept in the operating room so that you can observe all these things later. However, Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center decided to record CCTV in the operating room for the first time if the patient or the guardian wants it.

First,

It is Gyeonggi Provincial Anseong Hospital in Gyeonggi Province. We wanted to resume construction 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 expressions of subjects and saves the situation in the operating room as it is.

Recording is performed only when the patient or carer agrees prior to surgery. They are kept for 30 days and then discarded permanently.

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.
