Prohibition of Photography, Recording, and Posting on Social Media

To protect the privacy and personal information of patients, visitors, and staff, and to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for medical care, unauthorized photography, audio recording, and video recording are prohibited inside the hospital and anywhere on hospital premises.

Prohibited Activities

  • Taking photographs or videos, making audio recordings, or live streaming using smartphones, mobile phones, cameras, tablets, IC recorders, or similar devices
  • Posting or publishing photographed or recorded content on social media, blogs, video-sharing platforms, review websites, or similar services

If You Wish to Take Photographs or Make Recordings

Please speak with a staff member in advance. We will review the purpose and circumstances and determine whether permission can be granted.

Precautions When Permission Is Granted

Even when permission has been granted, please take sufficient care not to capture other patients, visitors, staff members, medical information, electronic medical record screens, documents, notices, or other confidential material.

Do not use photographs or recordings for any purpose other than the approved purpose, or post or publish them on social media or elsewhere without permission from the hospital.

If Unauthorized Photography or Recording Is Identified

Staff will ask you to stop and may request to inspect or delete the relevant image, video, or audio data.

In cases considered malicious, or where the conduct causes disturbance to patients, staff, or others, you may be asked to leave the premises.

We may also consult with or report the matter to the police or other relevant authorities.

Even when photography or recording has been permitted, unauthorized use of images, footage, or recordings containing other patients or staff is strictly prohibited. Any issues arising from publication on social media or elsewhere are the sole responsibility of the person who posted the content, and Nagitsuji Hospital accepts no liability for such issues.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain an environment where everyone can receive medical care and treatment with confidence.

Director, Nagitsuji Hospital
