The event, held at a local health center, marked the beginning of a nationwide effort to vaccinate children against this debilitating disease.
Bibi Aseefa Bhutto Zardari, who has consistently shown a deep commitment to public health, personally administered polio vaccine drops to children, emphasizing the importance of vaccination in protecting young lives. Her presence highlighted the critical role that political leadership plays in raising awareness about the need for polio eradication and strengthening public health initiatives.
Addressing the gathering, Bibi Aseefa Bhutto Zardari expressed her firm resolve to continue the fight against polio until it is completely eradicated from Pakistan. She reaffirmed the Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) unwavering dedication to improving public health and ensuring the well-being of every child in the country.
In addition to the vaccination drive, a key highlight of the ceremony was the recognition of the hard work and dedication of the polio workers. These frontline heroes, who often work in challenging conditions, were presented with certificates of appreciation for their tireless efforts in combating polio. Their selfless service was commended by both Bibi Aseefa Bhutto Zardari and Faryal Talpur, who acknowledged the risks they face and the immense responsibility they carry in ensuring that no child is left behind in the vaccination drive.
