Unicef’s Regional Director for South Asia George Laryea-Adjei on Sunday stated that the polio program in Pakistan was back on track. He expressed hope that the crippling disease would be eradicated from the country by the end of 2023 following effective measures to check its spread. “We are using all available resources and services at our disposal to reach every girl and boy in Pakistan with lifesaving vaccines and protect them against the entirely preventable disease,” he said.
