The Haryana chapter of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has strongly objected to an order from the Ayushman Bharat CEO mandating live CCTV surveillance in hospital ICUs and HDUs. The IMA argues this directive breaches patient privacy, lacks empathy, and is impractical, especially concerning vulnerable patients requiring intimate care. While Ayushman Bharat stated the cameras aim to enhance transparency and accountability, the IMA expressed concern over potential misuse and the inability of hospitals to comply with such intrusive monitoring.
