The Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGGH) will soon be the first of its kind to have CCTVs installed at its campus. 29 cameras were installed on Monday in the Outpatient Department. Last year, 32 cameras were installed in the ICU.

Dean of RGGGH Dr. V. Kanagasabai said, ‘This is to provide additional security for OPD as every day around 12,000 outpatients visit the hospital and at least one attendant accompany the patient. So roughly more than 24,000 throng the hospital and managing the crowd becomes difficult… We have installed 10 cameras insi­de the OPD and another 19 cameras outside including dispensary, OP registration, MRI scan and billing section.’
