Pakistan has witnessed a disturbing spike in new polio cases since March, dealing a significant blow to the government's efforts to make the country polio-free.
According to officials, a total of 32 new cases have been recorded since March, a number that has left health experts scrambling to find a solution to the rapidly escalating crisis.
Anwarul Haq, an official working on the polio eradication efforts, revealed the latest figures, highlighting the pressing need for a concerted effort to combat the disease.
The polio resurgence in Pakistan has been attributed to a combination of factors, including low vaccination rates, poor sanitation, and a lack of awareness about the disease.
In recent years, Pakistan has made significant strides in the fight against polio, with the number of new cases declining steadily. However, the latest figures suggest that progress has been derailed, putting the lives of thousands of children at risk.
The government has vowed to take all necessary measures to tackle the crisis, including intensifying vaccination efforts and increasing awareness about the disease.
Health officials have warned that failure to eradicate polio could have devastating consequences, including widespread outbreaks and long-term damage to public health.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed concern over the resurgence of polio in Pakistan, calling for immediate action to address the crisis.
The WHO has pledged its support to Pakistan in the fight against polio, providing technical assistance and resources to help strengthen vaccination efforts.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Pakistan's fight against polio is far from over, and the government must take urgent action to protect its citizens from this deadly disease.
