KANDAHAR CITY (Pajhwok): Nine children were diagnosed with polio virus in southern Kandahar province last year, making it the world’s worst place in terms of the deadly disease.
Polio can permanently paralyze or kill victims within hours of infection. Intensive vaccination campaigns have almost eradicated the disease worldwide, but it remains endemic in Afghanistan and Nigeria.
Kandahar public health officials say 28 polio cases surfaced in 2018 in the world . . .
