KP govt committed to eradicate polio: Barrister Saif

PESHAWAR: Special Assistant to Chief Minister, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif on Thursday said the provincial government under the leadership of Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is committed to eradicate polio.

In a statement about polio awareness, he said we strongly condemn the attack on polio teams and police in South and North Waziristan. He said some parents refuse to vaccinate their children due to fear of anti-polio campaign groups, which is why about 12 cases of polio have been reported in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

He said that the government was using all its resources to eradicate the disease. He said people should vaccinate their children against polio without any fear or danger. Healthy children will make healthy Pakistan, Barrister Saif concluded.
