Author: DNA

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister’s Focal Person for Polio Eradication Senator Ayesha Raza Farooq on Saturday urged officials to ensure quality of polio campaigns through coordinated monitoring, supervision and leadership during the upcoming round of polio campaign.

Attending a high-level meeting for polio eradication, the senator applauded the role of district administrations in the anti-polio campaign. “Reaching out to every child across the length and breadth of the province and ultimately the country is missed,” she said. She commended the work done by frontline health workers on the border crossings with Afghanistan and hoped that all the mobile populations coming and going through our international borders will be inoculated and recorded. “Our job is almost done, but not finished yet therefore there is no room for complacency,” she said. dna
