Will privacy not be leaked? Is there a camera installed in the mother and baby room of a women's and children's hospital? Hospital: Unable to capture mother and baby | Northwest Women and Children's Hospital | Room decoration
On June 25th, a netizen in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province posted a video claiming that after feeding her child in a mother and baby room at Northwest Women and Children's Hospital, she found a camera above the room. This matter has sparked heated discussions.
In the video footage posted by the netizen, it can be seen that there is an open skylight above the mother and baby room, and a camera is installed. The netizen said in the video, "It's so awkward."
On June 28th, a reporter from Xiaoxiang Morning News contacted a staff member of the publicity department of the Party Committee Comprehensive Office of Northwest Women and Children's Hospital. He stated that the hospital conducted an investigation as soon as it saw the relevant situation. The camera in the video is the hospital's security camera, which captures the location of the pharmacy and cannot capture the mother and baby room, so there is no privacy leakage. This camera was originally present, but it was only placed in the mother and baby room later without considering the details of the camera's location in the room. Currently, the hospital is contacting third-party manufacturers and logistics personnel to increase the distance between the camera and the mother and baby room to avoid misunderstandings.
In addition, the staff told reporters that the skylight in the mother and baby room is used for ventilation and breathability, but there is an automatic switch inside the room, and patients can control the opening and closing of the skylight on their own. At present, the hospital has also sealed the skylight.
