A Health Ministry pilot project to revamp security at government hospitals is under way, with the effort at Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah (HTAR) yielding positive results.

95 advanced CCTVs are being installed throughout the whole hospital, giving them 24 hours surveillance, which no doubt increase the efficiency in security.

With the help of the current technology advancement, the number of security guards at HTAR has been reduced from 265 to 100.

Health Minister Dato’ Seri Liow Tiong Lai gave the thumbs up to the project, saying that besides improving security it had also saved the Government a considerable amount in terms of costs.
