HIV Outbreak Continues: Medical Malpractice Exposed

Eight months after an HIV outbreak among children, critical lapses in medical practices persist at Taunsa's Tehsil Headquarters Hospital. Undercover footage captured in March 2025, eight months after the initial government crackdown, shows alarming scenes: syringes being reused, injections administered through clothing, and unqualified volunteers treating children with contaminated vials. These practices pose a severe risk of infection transmission.

Between November 2024 and October 2025, at least 331 children in Taunsa tested positive for HIV. The low rate of positive tests among parents strongly suggests that infections occurred within healthcare settings. This situation has led to the deaths of some children and a future of continuous treatment for others.
