Four closed-circuit cameras were placed at Chittagong Medical College Hospital on Sunday with the aim of increasing the quality of services.
The cameras were set at the circle in front of the Main Building, waiting room on the ground floor of that building, emergency unit and administration block.
The cameras will be monitored from the CMCH director's room and are expected to help the authorities in their surveillance of the staff activities, said Brigadier General Mustafizur Rahman, director of the facility.
The camera, placed in front of the main building, will help the authorities control the traffic congestion and reduce the harassment of both the incoming and outgoing patients and their attendants.
The hospital, while buying the cameras with its own money, gave an application to the health ministry to get them more such cameras.
Provided the government consents to their need CMCH will put CC cameras at its 34 wards.
'We are trying to increase the quality of our services. We hope that the cameras will help us achieve that. It will help ease the vehicle jam in front of the Man Building and ensure better patient care at the wards,' the director told New Age.
