The Government of Pakistan, alongside international donors and development partners, convened today in Islamabad to reaffirm their commitment to the eradication of polio and to strengthen collaborative efforts to ensure a polio-free future for Pakistan’s children.

Organised by the Pakistan Polio Eradication Initiative (PEI), the donors’ review meeting served as a vital platform to update stakeholders on the latest progress, ongoing challenges, and strategic interventions aimed at eliminating the poliovirus from the country. The event brought together representatives from global organisations, donor agencies, and key government officials, underscoring the collective resolve to sustain momentum in the final push against polio.

Welcoming the esteemed guests, the Prime Minister’s Focal Person for Polio Eradication, Ms. Ayesha Raza Farooq, expressed deep gratitude for the unwavering support of donor partners. “Your steadfast commitment and continued engagement have been instrumental in driving Pakistan’s progress toward polio eradication,” she said. “This year presents a critical opportunity to interrupt virus transmission, and with your support, we are implementing a robust and targeted strategy to close immunity gaps and protect every child.”
