The Director of UAE-PAP, Abdulla Khalifa Alghfeli, praised the humanitarian approach and the generous support of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed. Alghfeli explained that Sheikh Mohamed’s humanitarian initiative to eradicate polio is a major factor contributing to the elimination of the disease in the last reservoir of the virus in Afghanistan and Pakistan. “The efforts and sacrifices of the field vaccination teams, who face difficult field conditions and dangerous challenges, greatly contribute to the success of the campaigns and reducing the spread of poliovirus in Pakistan,” he added.
