HYDERABAD:More than 37,000 children up to 5 years old will be administered anti-polio drops during the week-long campaign, started here on Monday, targeting only the high-risk areas in Hyderabad.
The acting District Health Office Dr Imdad Channa informed that 147 mobile teams headed by 10 doctors and 34 area
in-charges would carry out the drive.
According to him, during the previous campaign around 9,000 children could not be administered anti-polio drops.
He said the drive was started after the polio virus was found in an environmental sample taken from Karachi last month.
