A covert investigation at a Pakistani hospital has uncovered alarming breaches of medical safety, exposing children to life-threatening infections, including HIV.
Footage recorded over 32 hours shows repeated breaches of basic hygiene standards, including healthcare workers reusing syringes on multiple patients and drawing medication from shared vials.
At least 331 children in Taunsa tested HIV-positive between November 2024 and October 2025, with most infections unlikely to be passed from mother to child.
The investigation suggests that unsafe medical practices were a key factor in the outbreak, with contaminated needles identified as the main source of infection.
Parents reported witnessing syringes being reused across patients, highlighting broader systemic failures.
