According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the nationwide tally of poliovirus cases in Pakistan has risen to 29. The development has come days after poliovirus case was confirmed in Sindh's Hyderabad.
Pakistan is one of the last two countries in the world, alongside Afghanistan, where polio remains endemic. Despite global efforts to eradicate the virus, challenges such as security issues, vaccine hesitancy, and misinformation have slowed progress.
A new polio case in Tank, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, raises Pakistan's 2025 total to 24, mostly in southern KP. The NIH announced a September 15-18 vaccination drive targeting high-risk districts, urging parents to ensure their children complete immunisation, Dawn reported.
