103 Dead in Sindh from Mosquito-Borne Diseases in 2025
In 2025, 103 people in Sindh, Pakistan, died from diseases spread by mosquitoes, like dengue and malaria.
Most of these deaths happened in Karachi.
Four big hospitals reported these numbers, but the government said only 33 people died.
The hospitals said the real number is much higher because many people get treated at small clinics and some die at home.
The government doesn't have a good system to count all the cases, so the problem might be worse than we know.
103 people died from mosquito-borne diseases in Sindh in 2025, per hospital data.
Official government data reports only 33 deaths from dengue and malaria.
Indus Hospital reported 8,883 dengue cases with 40 deaths and 2,719 malaria cases with 23 deaths.
AKUH reported at least 6 dengue-related deaths, while LUH reported 25 dengue-related deaths.
Government data shows 20,502 dengue cases and 283,140 malaria cases in Sindh, with 90% of dengue cases in Karachi.
