How to treat the practice of setting up cameras in maternal and child rooms in hospitals? How do patients safeguard their rights and interests?

The practice of setting up cameras in maternal and child rooms of hospitals involves the privacy of patients and the protection of personal information. Here are some ideas for reference:

1. Privacy protection: It is a private act for patients to breastfeed in the hospital nursery, and collecting, storing or transmitting relevant images or videos may involve invasion of privacy. Hospitals should fully consider patients' right to privacy and carefully weigh the balance between public safety and privacy protection.

2. Transparent and informed consent: If the hospital decides to install a camera in the maternal and child room, it should inform the patient in advance, clearly inform the purpose and scope of use of the camera, and obtain the informed consent of the patient. Patients have the right to know whether there is a camera and clearly know the relevant treatment measures.

3. Technical safety: If the hospital chooses to set up a camera, it should ensure the technical safety of the camera system and avoid the potential risk of information leakage. Relevant video materials should be kept strictly confidential, and only authorized personnel can access them, and necessary data protection measures should be taken.

For patients, the following points can be considered to safeguard their rights and interests:

1. Patient communication: communicate with hospital management or relevant personnel, ask about the use and specific layout of relevant cameras, find out whether there are privacy protection measures, and express their concerns and opinions.

2. Know your rights and interests: Know your rights and interests as a patient and relevant laws and regulations on privacy protection, such as the Personal Information Protection Law and relevant local laws and regulations.

3. Complaints and feedback: If you find that your privacy has been violated or there are violations, you can complain and feedback to the hospital, and you can consider seeking help from relevant regulatory agencies or legal institutions.

It should be noted that the above views and suggestions provide general reference, and the specific situation needs to be dealt with in combination with local laws and regulations and hospital policies.
