Discusses the ongoing challenges and recent surge of polio in Pakistan from the perspective of local public health workers.
Poliomyelitis has been eradicated in all countries except Afghanistan and Pakistan. Why have we, as Pakistani government workers, public health officials, and community members been unable to eradicate polio in Pakistan? There is no doubt that our field immunisation staff and the security personnel protecting them have faced unprecedented attacks in a difficult, and in some cases, deadly, working environment. But with the security situation now much improved, the question of why we are witnessing one of the largest polio surges since 2014 remains unanswered.
