Polio Returns To Pakistan, Afghanistan As Vaccinations Stall

Polymiel flame was paralyzed up to 500,000 every year before the polio virus vaccine was generated in 1955, causing killing. By 2000, the world has almost eradicated poliovils, except for several regions, through a large amount of vaccination campaign for oral polio vaccine.

However, the global battle with Polio came across a serious retreat, as Pakistan began to rise again. Despite the eradication of the eradication in 2023, the number of viruses in the wild form has surged to 73 in 2024, despite only six reports. In Afghanistan, it is a major factor that contributes to the SPREAD extension of the disease.

For each WHO data, infectious diseases such as pneumonia, dengue fever, and measles have been increasing in Afghanistan since the past six months.

Butta, who has been working extensively in this area, believes that Pakistan's resurrection of polio cases has been returned from Afghanistan. “It's spreading to all Pakistan's districts. We have lost the defeat from the victory,” Butta lamented.

“It's a virus that I don't want to be eradicated, so I will give it a 1 -inch and give yards,” Butta said.

The challenges of polio eradication in this area are multifaceted. Butta has cited a major disability of women's medical experts, poor hygiene conditions, and the restrictions on the terrain in regional anxiety. The lack of trusted data on Afghanistan's polio virus cases further complicates the efforts of fighting illness.

Pakistan has invested a lot in the Polio virus vaccination program and spent an estimated $ 10 billion since 2011. Despite these efforts, the progress of the country at the eradication of the disease is uneven and the vaccination rate is different in the state. In the panjab, 85 % of children are vaccinated, but in Barochestan, it is as low as 30 %. Butta said that it would not be eradicated until the coverage reached 85-90 % in all states. He also emphasizes the need for a comprehensive review of vaccination strategy and emphasizes the importance of strengthening not only polio but also everyday vaccination programs for all infectious diseases.

Butta's expertise in cooperating with Afghanistan's Taliban provides valuable insights on the complexity of providing medical services in the conflict zone. He emphasizes that Taliban is not an enemy but shares the same health concerns as everyone else. Butta's experience in delivering a natural PO vaccine in cooperation with Taliban during the negotiated peace emphasizes the possibility of dealing with health needs.

The resurrection of Pakistan's polio incident functions as a reminiscent of the need for sustainable efforts in the struggle with infections. A comprehensive review of vaccination strategies and the call of Butta, which focuses on a wide range of local health needs, provides a way to move forward in the battle with polio. Eventually, the eradication of polio viruses in this area requires coordination from international and local health authorities, as well as the cooperation of Afghanistan's Taliban government.
