In his response to a countrywide surge in polio cases, caretaker Health Minister Dr Nadeem Jan on Friday claimed that 90 per cent of the virus cases in Pakistan were “imported from Afghanistan”.
His remarks came after two more samples, collected from Balochistan’s Dera Bugti and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Peshawar, tested positive for the poliovirus in the country – just a day after this year’s third case surfaced.
