PESHAWAR FREE FROM POLIOVIRUS- PAKISTAN



Environmental water sample which were collected from the sewerage lines of Shaheen Muslim town in Peshawar, northern Pakistan has given a negative result for the poliovirus test for the first time in the last 20 months. It is a great achievement for the district as it was declared as a world polio reservoir by World Health Organization last year. Besides that water samples collected from other cities were also found to be negative which is a great leap towards the goal of worldwide polio eradication.
