In Taunsa, Pakistan, a public hospital has been linked to at least 331 HIV infections among children from November 2024 to October 2025. An investigation revealed that hospital staff reused syringes for multiple patients, contaminating multi-dose vials. This practice poses a significant risk of spreading the virus. Despite previous administrative actions against such practices, the current medical superintendent dismissed the allegations as potentially staged. The situation raises concerns about the safety and management of healthcare practices in the facility.
