Nyeri County government will now be compelled to install surveillance cameras in all health facilities in a bid to increase efficiency amongst workers.
This follows a move by the Nyeri County Assembly to approve a motion by nominated MCA Agnes Wanjiku seeking the County Executive Committee Member (CEC) in charge of Health Services to facilitate installation of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance cameras in all units within the County Health Facilities in order to increase security as well as enhance service delivery in the hospitals.
While moving the motion, Wanjiku emphasized the need for surveillance cameras adding that they promote monitoring of the use of hospital equipment and supplies.
She added that it provides evidence that protects staff against deceitful claims, monitors the custody of infants at the nurseries and after childbirth wards.
The mover said that CCTV surveillance cameras enhance monitoring of movement of patients within the facility, monitoring of service provision by healthcare givers and the movement of individuals in and out of the facility among others.
In a sitting chaired by the Speaker James Gichuhi, the House resolved that the CEC in charge of Health Services issues guidelines on confidentiality, use and location CCTV surveillance cameras in the County Health Facilities.
