Advocate Tariq Mansoor has written to the prime minister seeking an independent federal inquiry into reported child HIV infections at two SESSI hospitals in Karachi, citing dozens of cases and deaths.

His letter links about 169 to over 200 children to Kulsum Bai Valika Hospital, with about nine deaths noted, and over 16 cases to Landhi.
