Islamabad: Pakistan is still not free from the disease that India has long controlled. The disease’s name is polio, and it has become a “disgrace” to Pakistan. Three new poliovirus cases have been reported in Pakistan’s Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces, raising the total number of infections this year to 55. The information was obtained from media releases on Monday.
The case was also exposed earlier
The National Institutes of Health Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication has confirmed three cases of poliovirus type 1 (WPV1), Dawn reported. The children found to be infected include two girls aged 8 and 20 months, and a 5-month-old boy. New cases were reported from Dera Ismail Khan, Zhob and Jafrabad districts, an official of the laboratory was quoted as saying. Poliovirus cases have been reported in all three districts this year.
The Sharif government has taken steps
Let us tell you that Pakistan is one of the few countries that has not yet eradicated polio. Earlier recently, when Pakistan reported new polio cases, Sharif’s government launched a new nationwide vaccination campaign. It is also worth noting that Pakistan has regular vaccination drives but there have been constant terrorist attacks targeting health workers and police personnel who provide security to them.
