Pakistan, Afghanistan Agreed for Joint Vigilance on Polio

Speaking on the occasion Senator Ayesha Raza Farooq said Pakistan and Afghanistan today remain the only countries in the South Asian region afflicted  with polio whereas the entire region has been certified as free of the disease. “We must collectively strive for a polio-free South Asia and a polio-free  world. The global community is looking towards us to deliver as we are the final frontier in realization of the goal of a polio-free world.” She said it is a reality that polio eradication in this region will depend on stopping polio in both Pakistan and Afghanistan. “Given the highly porous border and heavy and frequent cross border movement, we will have to make collective efforts as one epidemiological block to stop polio virus transmission through a robust closely coordinated plan.Polio anywhere in both the countries means polio everywhere.”
