Education Over Entertainment
While visitors will be able to witness a number of treatments, if a particular procedure is deemed too sensitive, the hospital staff can choose to obscure the view. Moreover, photography and videography in the viewing gallery would be strictly prohibited.
If reports are to go by, the facility will also be engineered to reduce sound and noise. This will prevent distractions from the procedures.
