KARACHI, March 2: The next round of three-day anti-polio campaign, which would be 36th of its kind, would take off in the country from March 4, during which some 38 million children under the age of five would be administered polio drops.

In Karachi, the campaign would be launched at the Dow Medical College where Sindh Health Secretary Ashiq Hussain Memon would administer polio drops to children.

In the interior of Sindh, some 8.4 million would be given polio drops during the three-day campaign.

Polio-eradication campaign started in Pakistan with the help of international health agencies in 1994 and today after hectic and sustained efforts of nine years, Pakistan is among those countries who eliminated the problem successfully.—PPI
