“Hi, I’m here in Pakistan. Yesterday, I met with some frontline workers and also with some mothers and their children who are very dedicated and devoted to trying to end polio here in Pakistan. It’s one of the last places on earth that still has this horrible disease. Today, I came to a polio center where we’re trying to work really closely with the whole group of agencies who are dedicated to getting rid of this disease. I’m also at a warehouse where we have the polio vaccine. Pakistan is working so hard to get rid of this disease, and UNICEF is such a strong, strong partner. Hopefully, we can, with a lot of hard work, get rid of this and have the world be done with it once and for all.”

STORYLINE:
According to UNICEF, Pakistan made remarkable progress in the fight against polio and COVID-19, but efforts to fight malnutrition and increase school enrollment need to be scaled up.
In her recent visit to Pakistan, Catherine Russell, UNICEF Executive Director, visited UNICEF-supported programmes, met with children, families, and frontline workers, and held discussions with Pakistani government officials.
“Pakistan is working so hard to get rid of this disease, and UNICEF is such a strong, strong partner. Hopefully, we can, with a lot of hard work, get rid of this and have the world be done with it once and for all,” said UNICEF’s Executive Director.
According to Russel, the number of wild polio cases in Pakistan has declined steadily, and no child has been paralyzed from the disease in a year. However, the risk of infection remains high, especially among vulnerable communities near the border with Afghanistan.
In addition, 1.3 million children have not received their full childhood vaccines, and 350,000 children have not received any vaccine.
At a school for girls in the capital, Russell saw first-hand how students use digital tools to acquire new skills and heard from staff about the importance of new technologies.
At least 21 million children of school age in Pakistan do not go to school, and an additional 1 million children are likely to drop out due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meeting with Prime Minister Imran Khan, UNICEF Executive Director, commended Pakistan’s efforts to fight polio. She also praised the effective roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign.
More than 200 million vaccine doses have been administered, half of which were procured through COVAX with support from UNICEF.
