Karachi, A week-long anti-polio campaign is set to commence tomorrow in the provinces of Sindh and Balochistan, targeting children up to five years old. This initiative marks a critical effort in the ongoing battle against polio, a debilitating and potentially fatal disease that primarily affects young children.
According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the campaign aims to administer anti-polio drops to children across the two provinces, reinforcing Pakistan’s commitment to eradicating the poliovirus. The initiative is part of a broader national strategy to ensure that all children are protected from this preventable disease.
