More and more patients are recording videos with their phones in hospitals, the OKFŐ is launching a campaign to curb the phenomenon.

Several hospitals have reported an increase in unauthorized audio and video recordings made by patients and their relatives, according to the National Hospital Directorate. These recordings occur in waiting rooms, clinics, and even during examinations. The phenomenon is particularly common in emergency departments but is also noted in inpatient care. The Directorate warns that such recordings may violate the privacy rights of other patients and healthcare staff, complicate patient care, and breach hospital regulations. Additionally, patients are becoming more anxious and impatient due to this situation.
