دنیا میں ہر بچے کا حق ہے کہ اسے صحت مند زندگی میسر آئے، اور اس کی ماں بھی محفوظ ہو۔ ہر ماں چاہتی ہے کہ وہ اپنے بچے کی پرورش کے لیے خود مکمل طور پر صحت مند ہو۔

خاندانی منصوبہ بندی ماں اور بچے کی صحت کے لیے نہایت ضروری ہے، کیونکہ صحت مند ماں سے ہی صحت مند بچہ اور صحت مند معاشرہ وجود میں آتا ہے۔

وزیرِ اعلیٰ پنجاب کی قیادت میں، محکمہ صحت و آبادی، مذہبی رہنماؤں کی معاونت سے، خاندانی منصوبہ بندی کی اہمیت اجاگر کر رہا ہے۔

ہوں

Polio is a highly infectious viral disease that mainly affects children under 5 years old. It invades the nervous system and can cause total paralysis in a matter of hours.

*Symptoms and risk:*

🦠 Polio spreads person-to-person, mainly through the faecal-oral route or, less often, by contaminated water or food.

🤒 Early symptoms include fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, neck stiffness, and limb pain.

🧑‍🦽 1 in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis, and up to 10% of those affected die when their breathing muscles fail.

💔 Anyone unvaccinated remains at risk.

*Key facts:*

🔹 There is no cure for polio, it can only be prevented through vaccination.

🔹 As long as one child remains infected, children everywhere are at risk.

🔹 Thanks to global vaccination efforts, wild poliovirus cases have dropped by over 99% since 1988.

💪 A polio-free world means no child will face lifelong paralysis again.
