Hospital Reuses Syringes, Infects Hundreds of Children With HIV

BBC Eye says at least 331 children tested positive for HIV at THQ Taunsa Sharif in Pakistan between November 2024 and October 2025.

Undercover footage reportedly showed hospital staff reusing syringes and sharing drug vials, a practice likely linked to the infections.

The case points to a severe infection-control failure at a public hospital and raises broader concerns about patient safety oversight in Pakistan.
