How Should a Clinic or Hospital Use CCTV in Kenya?
Quick answer

A clinic or hospital benefits from cameras at the entrance and reception, in corridors and waiting areas, at the pharmacy and drug store, and in the car park. Do not put cameras in consulting rooms, treatment rooms or toilets. Health data is sensitive personal data in Kenya, so restrict who can view footage, post signs and keep recordings only as long as you need them.

06Frequently asked questions

Is CCTV allowed in a hospital?

Yes in public and staff areas for security, with signs and access limits. Private clinical spaces are off limits; see Kenya's data protection guidance below.

Who should see the footage?

A named few: the manager and security lead. Keep a log of who exports or views recordings.

How long should footage be kept?

Long enough to resolve incidents and complaints, and no longer. Document the period.

Can CCTV link to the alarm?

Yes. Many sites add door alarms on drug stores and a panic button at reception.
