    Polio eradication is a failed concept in the context of Pakistan. Its time to be realistic and think about other real priorities. Polio control cant get better than this. Now the program has taken another dimension by repeated killing of polio workers.
    Measles outbreaks are slapping the health care in its face. Time to shift our focus

    POLIO MENACE Empty Hayatabad becomes infected with Wild Polio Virus

    Post by Dr Abdul Aziz Awan Sat Apr 04, 2015 12:07 pm

    Polio Outbreak in Hayatabad

    Hayatabad which is thought to be one of the most posh areas of Peshawar, has got a Polio cases, area around HMC in Phase-4. The sad part is the father refused to Polio vaccination (both to OPV as well as IPV) for this child only. All other children are vaccinated fro Routine as well OPV vaccination. But the fact is we can do the mistake, we can miss the children but the virus never. It gets its target whenever and wherever it finds an un-vaccinated child.

    This give a total of 4 cases in Peshawar; i.e. UC Mera Kachuri (Jhagra), UC Larama, UC Deh Bahadar and UC Hayatabad. Total cases in Pakistan 21 in 2015.

    in 2014, total cases were 306 and Peshawar have 32, stood second after 176 from FATA.

    May Allah have mercy on all the children of Pakistan and save us from this menace.
