First Lady strongly condemns Attack on Anti-Polio team in Swat

ISLAMABAD : First Lady Bibi Aseefa Bhutto Zardari has strongly condemned the attack on an anti-polio team in Swat’s Matta area, which resulted in the martyrdom of a Levies officer, Yaseen.

Expressing profound grief and sorrow over the tragic loss of life, the First Lady said that those who target health workers and security personnel engaged in the noble mission of protecting children from preventable diseases are enemies of humanity.

Bibi Aseefa Bhutto Zardari reaffirmed that the eradication of polio remains a top national priority and emphasised that such cowardly acts cannot shake Pakistan’s resolve to ensure a healthy, safe and polio-free future for every child.
