flag Pakistan’s lawmakers warn unreliable HIV/AIDS data undermines global credibility amid discrepancies between national and provincial reports.

flag Pakistan’s National Assembly committee has raised alarms over unreliable HIV/AIDS data, warning inaccurate reporting could damage the country’s global standing. flag Lawmakers questioned the health ministry’s figures, noting major discrepancies with provincial data—such as 40,000 cases in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa alone—while the national tally listed only 81,000 patients without detailed regional breakdowns. flag Critics cited outdated data and widespread illegal abortions as systemic issues. flag Federal Health Minister Mustafa Kamal acknowledged long-standing data gaps, calling 300,000 patient estimates speculative, and explained that 75% of Global Fund resources go to NGOs, complicating data collection and transparency.
