Digital Technology should Not Be Misused Inside Premises Providing Health Care

If digital technology units are used in the right sense for the right reason, these facilities may be useful for the best health care of patients in premises providing health care. These facilities should not be misused for sharing patients' photos videos and their investigations details to the public through live or other means of transmission. This type of attitude by users of digital technology units may lead to many medico-legal problems.
