HIV was considered dangerous in the past: Bilawal

LARKANA – PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said there is a lack of awareness about HIV in Pakistan, so awareness is very much important to tackle this disease.

“HIV could develop into aids within the next 10 years if it is not treated in time”. “In the past, HIV was considered dangerous,” Bilawal said this during a visit to Ratodero on Saturday.

He also directed the Sindh government to establish an endowment fund for the treatment of HIV patients.

Bilawal also visited Civil Hospital to monitor blood screening work along with CM Sindh Murad Ali Shah and Health Minister Dr Azra Pechuho.

PPP chairperson asked the hospital administration the names of people affected by HIV should not come on media. “We have to fight against it with collective efforts,” he said,

Speaking about NAB, he accused the PTI government of blackmailing NAB to get control of the institution and to use its powers against the government’s political opponents.

He said PM Imran Khan is doing politics of blackmailing. Bilawal expressed that the interview of the NAB chairperson is in violation of court orders.
