MIRPURKHAS: Dr. Azra Pecho, Chairperson of Provisional Site and Coordination cell, Sindh All Public Health Care Program has said that negligence in duty on the parts of government officials in administering the vaccination to the kids under five years of age, would not be tolerated as it was a matter of dignity and pride for her to be a part of the campaign, which is linked with the future of the children.
Dr. Azra said it was a national obligation to immunization children by administering drops so as to lay the foundation of a healthy society and healthy Pakistan. She said that every child has a desire to become a part of some sporting activity and that can only be possible if he is physically fit.
Parents, refusing their children’s vaccination, would be tried under Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) to ensure vaccination for every child in order to eradicate this crippling disease from the district.
While presiding over a meeting of anti-polio committee held on Saturday, she said that there is a significant decline in the number of `left-out children’ mainly due to the efforts of the District Administration, officials of the Health
Department. The meeting planned for administering polio drops to the left out children in the sensitive union councils in the Mirpurkhas. It was decided that it should be ensured that in the next anti- polio drive no child is left out.
