Syed Mustafa Kamal’s Bold Vision to Eradicate Polio in Pakistan

Pakistan has long struggled with the fight against polio — a crippling disease that continues to impact the lives of thousands of children. But under the leadership of Syed Mustafa Kamal, the current Federal Health Minister, a new chapter is being written in Pakistan’s healthcare history.

As part of his bold public health reforms, Mustafa Kamal has launched a nationwide Polio Mohim (Polio Eradication Drive) — with a powerful vision to make Pakistan polio-free by 2027.

A Targeted, High-Impact Campaign

This new Polio Mohim isn’t just routine immunization — it’s a digitally monitored, community-driven, AI-supported campaign that focuses on:

  • Door-to-door vaccination in high-risk urban areas

  • Use of digital tools and mobile tracking apps for real-time data

  • Training thousands of health workers and volunteers for maximum impact

  • Combating vaccine hesitancy through social awareness campaigns on TV, radio, and social media

Why This Campaign Is Different

What sets this campaign apart is its data-driven strategy and transparency. Mustafa Kamal has partnered with local governments, NGOs, and digital media teams to ensure:

  • Accurate reporting of vaccination coverage

  • AI-based predictive analysis to identify missed children and target high-risk zones

  • Real-time dashboards for public access and media reporting

This level of integration is a first in Pakistan’s public health history.

Global Recognition

The campaign is already drawing attention from international health bodies like WHO and UNICEF, who have praised the government’s seriousness and innovation in fighting polio.

Digital Awareness Campaign — Powered by MQM’s Digital Media Team

The success of this initiative is also backed by a strong digital awareness strategy led by MQM’s digital media wing. From daily vaccination updates to influencer collaborations and online Q&A sessions, the goal is to keep every citizen informed, involved, and inspired.

Mustafa Kamal’s Message:
"No Child Left Behind"

In his recent statement, Syed Mustafa Kamal emphasized:

“Polio is not just a disease — it’s a barrier to our children’s future. As Health Minister, I promise to break that barrier and ensure that no child in Pakistan is left behind.”
