AI Summary (NQ-processed)
In response to a secret filming scandal at aesthetic clinics, the New Taipei City Health Bureau announced on the 20th that, based on a consensus with the Ministry of Health and Welfare, it has issued a notice to medical institutions banning covert recording devices. Fixed cameras are allowed in public areas with clear signage, written consent is required for low-privacy spaces, and recording is principally forbidden in high-privacy consultation rooms. The move aims to protect patient privacy, with national guidelines currently under revision.
