Which province in Pakistan recorded the greatest number of polio cases in 2024?

Explanation

In 2024, Balochistan had the highest count of polio infections in Pakistan, with 27 reported cases. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh each reported 19 cases, while Islamabad and Punjab recorded only one case each. The rise in polio cases is attributed to missed vaccinations, militant attacks on healthcare workers, and resistance from parents in rural regions. To address this, Pakistan has intensified vaccination campaigns, delivering the oral polio vaccine directly to households through multiple rounds annually to ensure better coverage.
