The Punjab government launched a pilot body camera program in major Lahore public hospitals, including Mayo, Services, Jinnah, and General Hospital, aimed at improving staff accountability and complaint resolution. Cameras were assigned to pharmacists, security personnel, and paramedical staff, with plans to connect hospitals to the Punjab Safe Cities Authority monitoring network. Doctors and healthcare workers raised concerns about recording in sensitive wards such as emergency rooms and gynaecology units. Civil society representatives called for public disclosure of the project’s costs, contractor details, data storage arrangements, and legal safeguards. Full implementation across Punjab remains incomplete.
