Undercover findings: Taunsa hospital still risking children's health after HIV outbreak
A BBC undercover investigation found ongoing serious malpractices in the children’s ward of Taunsa Tehsil Headquarters Hospital months after it was linked to a HIV outbreak, including reuse of contaminated syringes, unqualified volunteers, and poor infection control. Despite government pledges of action, HIV infections among Taunsa children continued into late 2025 (over 300 infections and nine deaths reported), with officials describing a joint screening and treatment response, though some parties dispute responsibility.
