Medical authorities at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) are expressing grave concern following a significant uptick in the number of HIV-positive diagnoses recorded at the facility. This growing trend has prompted urgent calls for enhanced screening measures and more robust public health interventions within the federal capital.

The increase in reported cases at the region’s primary medical center highlights a burgeoning healthcare challenge. Internal data suggests that the frequency of new infections has reached levels that require immediate attention from both institutional leadership and government health departments to prevent further spread.

While PIMS continues to provide essential diagnostic and treatment services, the pressure on its infectious disease department is mounting. Health experts emphasize the need for expanded community awareness campaigns and the implementation of more rigorous safety protocols to address the underlying causes of this transmission spike.
