ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has reported three additional cases of polio, bringing renewed attention to the ongoing challenge of eradicating the virus in the country.
The new cases confirmed in areas where polio vaccination efforts have faced significant challenges, particularly in remote and conflict-affected regions.
Health authorities have expressed concern over the resurgence of the virus and are intensifying their efforts to ensure that all children are vaccinated. Polio teams are being deployed across affected regions to carry out extensive vaccination drives and raise awareness about the importance of immunization.
