Polio Cases Rise in Pakistan

AU: Pakistan continues to struggle with polio eradication as the country reported 29 cases in 2025, with 18 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and nine from Sindh. The rise in cases is attributed to challenges such as vaccine hesitancy and misinformation. Sindh has vowed to take action against parents refusing polio vaccination, while Pakistan is considering measures like withholding national IDs and passports from those who refuse. Despite ongoing vaccination campaigns, security issues and hard-to-reach areas remain significant obstacles. The global polio eradication effort has been hindered by these challenges, with Pakistan and Afghanistan being the only countries where polio remains endemic. Upcoming vaccination campaigns aim to boost immunity among children nationwide.
