Sindh’s hospitals to have CCTV cameras

Karachi
The Sindh Health Department has decided to install CCTV cameras at all major hospitals of the province, as part of implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP).
In this connection, a team of contactors has completed a survey of the People’s Medical College Hospital in Nawabshah, Civil Hospital Karachi, Liaquat University Hospital in Hyderabad, Mahar Medical College and Hospital in Sukkur and Chandka Medical College Hospital in Larkana.
According to details, 256 locations have been finalised at the Nawabshah facility, 400 locations at CHK, 168 in Hyderabad, 156 in Sukkur and over 500 locations at Larkana’s Chandka Medical College.
Sources say the same survey was also carried out on the federal government’s directives a while ago, but no follow-up ever materialised. That, the sources added, was the reason why the Sindh government has decided to take the installation process upon itself. Representatives of every hospital have also been taken onboard for the project’s smooth execution and officials remain hopeful it would be completed soon.
