PM launches national anti-polio drive

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Prime Minister Imran Khan launched the National Anti-Polio drive here on Monday with a goal to rid the country of crippling disease.

The prime minister administered the drops of anti-polio vaccine to children aging below five years, at his Office.

The federal government has chalked out a comprehensive national emergency programme against polio, which is being carried out across the country in joint collaboration with the provinces.

Due to the efforts of the present government, only one case of polio has been reported in last one year. However, the campaign has been launched at larger scale to ensure access to all children in the country.
