Parents of children who tested positive for HIV after receiving care at Kulsum Bai Valika Hospital in Karachi protested at the facility on July 23, demanding accountability. The children, many of whose parents are low‑income factory workers, were treated through a labor‑ministry aid program. The protest echoes a 2019 outbreak in Larkana, Sindh, where 494 children were infected after investigations linked the spread to reused syringes and unsafe blood‑transfusion practices, prompting a government crackdown on unauthorized providers. NPR’s coverage highlights ongoing concerns about systemic failures in Pakistan’s health‑care system.
