An undercover BBC investigation has revealed that dangerous injection practices are continuing at a government hospital in Taunsa, a city in Pakistan's Punjab province, where at least 331 children have been identified as HIV-positive between November 2024 and October 2025. Secret footage recorded over 32 hours documented staff reusing syringes on multiple patients, handling medical waste without gloves, and leaving used needles beside open medication vials — practices that experts say create a direct route for blood-borne infection. Despite the hospital's medical director being suspended in March 2025 after authorities acknowledged 106 cases, the BBC found the unsafe practices persisted for at least eight months after that intervention, and the suspended official had quietly returned to clinical work at a nearby rural health centre.
