Balochistan has reported another polio case, bringing the province’s total to 23 and raising the nationwide count to 46 in 2024.
The latest case emerged from the Killa Saifullah district, where a young child has been diagnosed with the debilitating virus.
The rising number of polio cases in Balochistan underscores ongoing challenges in eradication efforts, despite substantial financial investments and vaccination campaigns.
Killa Saifullah has been identified as a high-risk area, requiring intensified immunization and awareness programs to prevent further spread.
This new case heightens concerns over Pakistan’s struggle to achieve a polio-free status, as health officials emphasize the need for comprehensive vaccination coverage to protect vulnerable children across the country.
