Recently, the polio virus was found in environmental samples collected in Peshawar and Karachi. This startling discovery has shocked the entire country.
Unsettlingly, a sizable number of samples taken from Karachi’s East and Central districts contained the virus. The gravity of the situation is highlighted by the fact that a total of four samples have tested positive, according to the health authority.
The unrelenting virus has not spared Peshawar either. The polio virus has also been detected in environmental samples from Hayatabad and Nade Khar, heightening the need for a thorough response.
Authorities have determined that the polio virus in Karachi came from Afghanistan. The disease’s containment attempts are further complicated by this cross-border dissemination.
The polio virus has been identified in environmental samples from 32 different places in Pakistan, according to the Department of Health, which is a worrying trend. This extensive outbreak necessitates swift action and increased attention.
Another example of the polio virus’s terrible effects occurred when an Afghan 12-year-old boy succumbed to the illness. With this terrible incidence, Afghanistan now has six youngsters who are polio-positive. Pakistan is likewise dealing with its own crisis as a result of the virus affecting two of its children.
