Anti-polio drive to focus on refusal cases

Health department faced resistance after fake video on social-media

RAWALPINDI: District Health Authority (DHA) will focus on refusal cases in the upcoming anti-polio campaign starting from April 9 to April 12.

“The health authority will especially cover the 489 refusal cases of the previous campaign to bring the number down to zero,” said District Health Officer (DHO) Prevention Dr Abdul Jabbar.

He said the health department has faced resistance after the fake video on social-media created propaganda against the anti-polio campaign.
