Two more polio cases surfaced in Sindh province.
A girl from the Sanghar district and a boy from the Mirpur Khas district have been hit by the polio virus.
A nationwide anti-polio campaign is being launched on October 28.
The health experts have called upon people to ensure participation in the campaign so that their children can be protected from this crippling virus.
This recent surge has brought the nationwide total of polio cases in Pakistan to 39 in 2024, raising concerns over the ongoing struggle to eradicate polio from the country.
Meanwhile, health authorities are intensifying efforts to combat the virus and protect vulnerable children.
On Friday, Balochistan reported three polio cases.
The affected children include a nine-month-old from Chaman, an 18-month-old from Pishin, and a five-year-old from Noshki, all of whom have been left disabled due to the disease, according to health department sources.
