With this new case, the total number of polio cases this year is now 22, according to the National Institute of Health (NIH). The case was reported in Pakistan.

Following their determination that the latest case is caused by the wild poliovirus type 1, medical specialists said the National Polio Testing Laboratory has also confirmed. Genetic testing of the polio virus is currently being conducted to ascertain its origin and correlation with other cases, and the afflicted patient is a 2.5-year-old child.

Balochistan has reported the largest number of polio infections this year, with 15 verified incidences, according to the NIH. Pakistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad, and Sindh have all recorded four cases apiece.

Pakistan is one of the few nations on the planet that still hasn’t succeeded in eradicating polio, and experts believe that the development of this new case highlights the continued problem this country confronts.

Children are still affected by the virus even after massive vaccination campaigns and awareness-raising initiatives by international health organisations and the government, especially in areas with poor access to medical care and immunisation programs.

The polio vaccination is essential for stopping the spread of this crippling illness, so health experts from both the federal and provincial governments are advising parents to make sure their children get it. To ensure that every child receives the vaccine and the essential medical treatment, the government and health organisations are working nonstop to reach out to them, particularly in rural and underprivileged areas.

As part of their commitment to controlling the virus’s spread, the NIH and other health authorities are keeping an eye on the issue and taking all necessary action. In order to combat polio, residents are urged to cooperate with health authorities, take part in vaccination campaigns, and abide by health recommendations.
