Three additional fatalities have pushed the dengue death toll to 36 in Pakistan's Sindh province for the year, with recent victims including a man aged 50 and two women aged 80 and 55 from Hyderabad and Karachi. Provincial health authorities reported 180 new hospitalizations within a single day, split between 113 government facilities and 57 private clinics, while 241 patients remained under treatment. Testing revealed 774 positive cases among 5,229 samples processed.

The Pakistan Medical Association has called for a health emergency declaration in the hardest-hit areas and demanded an independent audit of prevention programs. Medical officials characterized the outbreak as a preventable disaster stemming from inadequate sanitation, waste management failures, and delayed mosquito control efforts. The association criticized municipal authorities for allowing cities to become ideal habitats for Aedes mosquitoes through systemic neglect.
