She termed the polio workers as real heroes saying, “it is indeed laudable effort of those who are out to administer anti-polio drops to children and performing their duties in the freezing temperature.”
Dr. Buledi recalled that no fresh cases of poliovirus have been reported in Balochistan for the past two years, which shows the commitment of the government to get rid of the virus for good.
“Strenuous efforts on the part of government will bear fruit as we will be successful in making Pakistan polio-free country,” she maintained.
