However, these measures have faced challenges, particularly in Punjab where new infections are most prevalent, and Sindh's progress has been slow despite some improvement. Islamabad's success in reducing new cases is attributed to targeted campaigns and improved ART coverage, but experts caution against complacency and urge the government to increase resources for prevention and treatment while addressing barriers to care.
