Daily Emergency and Response Situational Information Report –5th Jan, 2015
Sindh Emergency Centre Opens to Tackle Polio Surge as on2-1-2015
Sindh has become the first province to have an emergency operation center to deal with a surge in polio cases under World
Health Organization (WHO) demand after its formal inauguration by the health minister on Thursday 1st Jan 2015. The
establishment of the center in the building facing the office of the Sindh chapter of Expanded Programme on Immunization
(EPI) had been notified in October last year. The Independent Monitoring Board for Polio had recommended its
establishment before July 1, 2014. According to the recommendation, a new entity should work under the direct supervision
of the president and the prime minister and its sub-entities be established in all the provincial capitals.
Officials said Sindh was the first province to notify the emergency operation center (EOC) to be headed by an additional
secretary of CM House along with representatives of the WHO, Rotary International and several other bodies trying to
eradicate the crippling disease. Senior health officials, Dr Azra Fazal Pechuho and Shehnaz Wazir Ali of the provincial oversight
committee on polio, officials of the law enforcement agencies and representative of UNICEF and WHO attended the opening
ceremony.
The officials said better strategies were being contemplated to ensure the nationwide anti-polio campaign, National
Immunization Days (NIDs), could be effectively carried out. Following the opening of the facility, the minister presided over
a meeting to address security fears obstructing polio campaigns in Karachi. Sources privy to the meeting said Ms Pechuho
was unhappy over government’s failure in establishing a 700-strong police force, exclusively for polio campaigns in 11
sensitive union councils, which was a reason for incomplete and unsuccessful polio drives. It was said in the meeting that
volunteers had been asked not to move into the areas where police were not available to protect them. The meeting was
informed that three NIDs and as many special campaigns were scheduled to be carried out in the city over the next six
months. At least 3,000 police officials were required for the protection of thousands of polio vaccination teams during these
campaigns. The sources quoted the minister as assuring the officials that the required policemen would be provided for the
future drives.
