This is the second incidence of polio in Bannu.
The incident highlights the need for more action despite government efforts to eradicate the virus.
The federal minister of health expressed worry and noted that this medical condition is curable.
Since 2021, no kid in Pakistan has had polio-related paralysis; however, the virus continues to be a threat in some places.
Vaccination efforts have been hampered by opposition from conservative locals and extremists, with some suspecting a foreign conspiracy.
