Pakistan Reports Ninth Polio Case of the Year
Published
Pakistan has reported its ninth polio case this year. The National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) confirmed the disease from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. These figures are important for the ongoing efforts against polio in the country.
Polio is a contagious disease that particularly affects children. There is no specific treatment for the disease, but children can be protected from it by administering polio drops. According to officials, parents must ensure that their children under the age of five receive drops in every campaign.
Pakistan is among the few countries where polio cases are still being detected. The government and health institutions are running door-to-door vaccination campaigns so that every child remains protected from this disease.
According to the National Emergency Operations Centre, the surveillance system is being further strengthened. The public has been appealed to cooperate with health workers and not to let any child be deprived of the drops.
