The ceremony brought together NEOC Coordinator Mr. Muhammad Anwar ul Haq, DG FDI Mr Musa Khan, WHO Deputy Representative Ms. Ellen Thom, National Core Team members, development partners including CDC, Rotary, media representatives, parents and children, reflecting a shared commitment to ending polio in Pakistan. From 2–8 November 2026, more than 200,000 frontline polio workers will work across 97 selected districts to vaccinate nearly 24 million children under five.

Hasiua remembers the first child she vaccinated in northeast Nigeria, 2 decades ago. Door-to-door, she is a mobiliser, a neighbour, a health champion. Nigeria is moving closer to #EndPolio because of workers like her. 🔗unicef.org/nigeria/stories/2…

That little finger says it all. In Afghanistan, a marked finger means one more child is protected against polio. One more family with peace of mind. One step closer to eradication. #EndPolio #ForEveryChild
