The latest case has emerged from Miranshah in North Waziristan, where a 19-month-old child tested positive for the poliovirus.

So far this year, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has recorded 8 cases, Sindh 4, Punjab 1, and Gilgit-Baltistan 1, making KP the most affected province.

Despite ongoing eradication efforts by the government and health authorities, the resurgence of polio remains a pressing public health concern.

Vaccination drives and awareness campaigns continue across the country in an attempt to eliminate the virus.
