ISLAMABAD, October 16, 2025 — The Sindh Health Department has reported 819 dengue cases across the province since the beginning of the year, with 175 new cases recorded in October alone.

According to the department’s latest update, one fatality has been confirmed so far in 2025. Karachi remains the most affected city, accounting for 85 of the new cases reported this month.

Sindh Health Minister Dr. Azra Fazal Pechuho expressed concern over the rising number of infections, saying the provincial government is taking comprehensive measures to control the outbreak.

“Safeguarding public health is our top priority. The administration is utilizing all available resources to eliminate dengue and other vector-borne diseases,” Pechuho said.
