Pakistan faces a growing HIV crisis, with 300,000 cases, 80% undiagnosed, and poor care access, especially for children.
Pakistan’s National Assembly committee revealed an estimated 300,000 HIV cases nationwide, with only 34,000 receiving treatment and 87,000 diagnosed, highlighting a major gap in care.
The committee expressed alarm over rising HIV cases among children and newborns, particularly in Sindh, citing unsafe medical practices like reused syringes and lack of antenatal testing.
It criticized widespread failures in the private healthcare sector, including unlicensed clinics, unregulated pricing, patient detentions over bills, and illegal drug sales.
The World Health Organization noted a 200% increase in HIV cases since 2010, with nearly 80% of infected people unaware of their status.
The committee urged nationwide testing, awareness campaigns, improved access to treatment, and stronger healthcare regulation.
