QUETTA, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 30th Apr, 2024) Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Ziarat Najeebullah Kakar on Tuesday said that anti-polio campaign was a national campaign to make it successful while everyone should play role for elimination of polio diseases.

He expressed these views while chairing a meeting of monitoring officers and zonal supervisors in connection with anti-polio campaign.

District Health Officer (DHO) Dr. Badar Nadeem Ansari, WHO Dr. Shehbaz participated in the meeting.

The ADC said that anti-polio campaign was a national campaign to make it successful while everyone should play role for eradication of polio disease in order to save children from disability in the area.

If even one child is left with drops, the campaign will not be successful, he said.
