Years. But our problem is just not FATA and KPK. Its all of Afghanistan and the amount of infected people that travel through Peshawar. Even if we make Pakistan polio free, we will easily have the afghan strain infect our people.

The disease spreads quickly and stays dormant for a substantial period. So you need a campaign every 2 or 3 months for a number of years.

The article does mention that the polio drive is not ‘finished’ but will continue every month 2-3 days.

@TLK

WTO is world trade organization. Pakistan is a member, but what it has anything to do with polio, only God our PTI would know.

I think it was probably writer/journalist’s mistake.
