0
Three new poliovirus cases were reported in Pakistan, bringing the 2025 total to 17, with 10 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The cases were found in Lakki Marwat, North Waziristan, and Umerkot. Authorities warn that immunity gaps and low vaccine acceptance continue to pose risks, especially to unvaccinated children. Pakistan and Afghanistan remain the only countries where polio is still endemic.
