Or maybe better education?

> When we showed Buzdar our undercover footage, he insisted it had been filmed before his tenure or that it had been staged. When asked what he would say to local parents watching this footage, he said: "I can say to them with certainty, with confidence, that you should get your treatment done at THQ Taunsa."

Not gonna fix this with education if they won't admit to having a problem in the first place.

It’s not going to fix this individual, but it certainly will fix the society.

or the lack of education is the cause of such denial of science.

If he lacked the education he wouldn’t be claiming it was fake footage.

Are you claiming that Pakistani nurses and doctors are not educated on the dangers of needle reuse?

Doctors and nurses are far from the only medical professionals who might be sticking you with a needle.

In the US your phlebotomist probably has a high school degree and a certification which required a few classes over one semester at a community college and passing an exam.

I doubt Pakistan has higher requirements than most US states do.

If they aren't educated, throw the whole thing away and start over. if they are educated, and decided to share HIV needles with children, throw the whole thing away, but put them all in prison.

Someone like USAID needs to support such education with funding etc.- https://www.mtapsprogram.org/our-work/health-area/antimicrob...

Too bad Elon got rid of it.

If it were China, the death penalty would be guaranteed for it.
