In an effort to bolster the ongoing anti-polio eradication campaign, a rally was taken out in Thatta on Sunday.

The rally was led by Provincial Minister Syed Riaz Hussain Shah Shirazi, District Health Officer (DHO) Syed Safdar Shah, and UNICEF’s Communication Officer Syed Sajjad Haider Shah.

It commenced from the DHO office and concluded at the main gate, with a significant number of health department staff and UNICEF representatives participating.

Addressing the rally, Shirazi emphasized the need to intensify efforts to make the polio campaign more effective in the region. He lauded the dedication of polio workers in combating this debilitating disease and stressed the importance of ensuring their safety and security.
