By IBNS
Nov 25, 2024..

Pakistan government's attempt to fight polio is facing a hurdle after three more cases were reported from Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.


The new cases were reported days after a Global Polio Eradication Initiative delegation met Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and other officials to discuss “strategies to combat the poliovirus outbreak and to address emerging challenges”, reported Dawn News.

In the current year, the South Asian country has reported 55 cases.

The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has reported three wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in the country.

A lab official told Dawn that new cases were reported from Dera Ismail Khan, Zhob and Jaffarabad.

The victims were identified as eight and 20 months old girl children.

The other victim was a five-month-old male child.
