Lahore at high polio risk
  • 5 HOURS AGO BY NEWS DESK
polio-kid2.jpg


The provincial capital of Punjab has turned to be a ‘top high risk city of the country’ for continuously reporting poliovirus as another sewage sample has been tested positive.

According to reports, the sample was drawn in June and dispatched to the National Institute of Health (NIH) in Islamabad for analysis. The report issued by the NIH confirmed the presence of the poliovirus in Lahore.

According to the report, the presence of the poliovirus exposed the performance of the officials of the Directorate of Health Services touting Lahore as poliovirus free city. The Punjab Directorate Health Services is primarily responsible for controlling of the communicable diseases.

Out of the total 11 samples drawn from the province, nine were tested positive in Lahore alone this year, the report said, even though the health department had launched five drives in Lahore to immunize the children against the crippling disease.

People here are more concerned about Palestine them themselves . If you guys living in lahore have not had vaccinations done , do it asap .

Well said.

Our dharna baaz, fake-revolutionaries have turned Lahore into a copy of Karachi.

This is how you destroy your cities and hence civilization.

you start long marches and ultimatums.

Provincial government is overwhelmed with law and order

And this gives a chance for criminals, and viruses, and bacteria to thrive.

Welcome to DR Congo.

Sadly


p.s. in some ways Hammas in Gaza is doing the same thing by provoking law and order situation. No wonder so many revolutionaries in Pakistan sympathize with Hummus Hammas. Both view the world the same way and both want to destroy their own houses with their own hands.
 
Was it even ened before? Or some how, some one is deliberately spreading this virus? Someone probably think that, people are full of conspiracy theorists, but biological warfare is today's realty.

I believe lot of older generation ( Grandparents) would not have had vaccinations . They should do it before it becomes a problem . I believe this might also have been result of internal immigration within Pakistan ( from fata/nwfp to punjab) . Nonetheless govt. should take it very very seriously and set some emergency procedures in action .

Regarding Palestine i don't understad why it is always gaza ( hammas) and not West bank which has such kind of problems . I am not saying Israel is all clean but when you know someone has a massive well oiled danda you just don't poke him from the house of people who shelter you . Hamas is doing the same .

The amount needed to conduct this type of warfare is HUGE.

So no.

This is about us, that we fail to immunize our poor kids.
sometimes due their parents, and mostly due to our own pathetic habits of educated elite.

Pakistan never fully eliminated Polio . If it had your theory might have had some weight .

It was surviving in northern areas not the cities like lahore, where no case has been reported for last 5 years or so.

Could be, but Polio in the cities like Lahore is always suspicious.

people from Northern areas immigrated in vast swathes to punjab/sindh this year .
 
Punjab has been polio free this past year. 100% of Pakistan polio cases are related to people of FATA.

Punjab was polio free? Could you post a source of this claim?

And even if these cases are related to people of FATA, its still failure of Punjab govt to not control it, just like you guys blame KP govt for not controlling it in KPK, those cases are also mostly related to people of FATA.
 
Why the f*** are you bringing Palestine into this discussion?

Read recent thread and respond back . It will bring things into perspective .

Agreed . They could have simply vaccinated people while they were relocating there in time of war .

The same could be said about the Indians talking about Pakistan. It’s not like India doesn't have enough problems of its own.

How its Punjab goverment to blame for FATA polio cases :lol: in fact its thanks to N that NW kids may finally get vaccinated. Otherwise if it was upto T Khan then there would never be any operation because Jinnah made province in 47 :laugh: and how tribals can't be controller, you know the usual bs T Khan keep saying.

And check polio cases in Pakistan, not a single one in Punjab.

Until now, 65 cases have been reported from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata), 12 from Khyber-Paktunkhwa (K-P) and, with the latest case, seven from Sindh.
