PESHAWAR, Sept 30: An Afghan child has tested positive for polio, taking the number of cases found in the NWFP and Fata this year to 28.
Officials said Abdul Wahab, son of Shah Jee Gul, had been confirmed as polio case by the National Institute of Health.
The nine-month-old child had received seven doses of polio drops during special campaigns but didn’t get vaccination during routine immunisation.
The number of children affected with poliomyelitis in the country has now risen to 67.
Last year 37 cases had been recorded.
