Polio officials announced the launch of this critical initiative on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The specialised anti-polio campaign kicked off on August 15 and is slated to run until August 21.

For this purpose, a comprehensive network of 965 field polio teams has been established, responsible for conducting door-to-door visits across the entire district. In preparation for the campaign, polio staff members underwent specialized training to ensure the effectiveness of the drive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This concerted effort to inoculate children against poliovirus underscores the commitment of Khyber district&#8217;s authorities and healthcare personnel to eliminate this preventable disease.
