00:00In general terms, we call it the tickle disease.

00:06Has it been eradicated at the global level?

00:09This is the first question.

00:11The second question is that it has nothing to do with monkey pox.

00:14No.

00:16Small pox, chicken pox and varicella are the only viruses.

00:22There is a slight difference.

00:24Small pox was eradicated in 1970.

00:27Those who had small pox vaccines before 1970,

00:32thought that this vaccine is the same as the Chinese vaccine.

00:36They don't even need that vaccine because they are immune.

00:41Those who were born after 1970,

00:44don't need mass vaccination if they are frontliners.

00:48If you are working at the airport,

00:50you are a porter,

00:52or a passenger from an endemic area,

00:55whether it is Dubai,

00:57or from Congo or Saudi Arabia,

01:01you need to be careful.

01:03So, we are recommending vaccines for those

01:07who are frontliners,

01:09who expose themselves to various diseases,

01:12especially those who are born after 1970,

01:16because they don't have immunity.

01:19So, we want to secure them first.

01:22There are medicines available for them.

01:25Unfortunately, they are not registered in Pakistan.

01:28Even today, at the NCOC meeting,

01:30I said that they should be provided here immediately.

01:33The current situation,

01:35our policy of Punjab,

01:37because I am chairing the committee,

01:39is to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

01:42Right now, we just want that no such thing happens.

01:45God forbid, these are unpredictable things.

01:48And there is a global health warning from the WHO,

01:51which should be taken seriously,

01:53that we should have stocks available,

01:55whether they are vaccines,

01:57intravenous drugs, antivirals,

01:59or medicines.

02:01Doctor, towards the end,

02:03of course, this question has nothing to do with Monkeypox,

02:06but for sure, it has a lot to do with our general health department.

02:09Whenever we hear about polio,

02:11we feel very sad,

02:13that how the whole world has been saved from it,

02:16and this case,

02:18a few days later,

02:20or a few weeks later,

02:22that something was found in Dehramurra, Jamali,

02:24so this was found.

02:26A disease that the world has been saved from,

02:28which has the consensus of scholars,

02:30including Saudi Arabia,

02:32of course, there,

02:34there is no doubt about it,

02:36which has the consensus of doctors from all over the world,

02:39that brother, this has no effect on your ability or strength,

02:42but we are not able to get rid of it,

02:45my question is,

02:47at the government level,

02:49because you have served recently,

02:51and you are still serving in some capacity,

02:53are we even realizing it as a challenge,

02:56because there are two challenges,

02:58one is the disease,

03:00how sad it is,

03:02that a child can get rid of it easily,

03:04but is not able to,

03:06and will be disabled for the rest of his life,

03:08although he can get it,

03:10it is God's will,

03:12and I think it is frankly very embarrassing as well,

03:14that when this news comes,

03:16that it is either in Afghanistan or Pakistan,

03:18it is very embarrassing as well,

03:20are we even realizing it as a problem or not?

03:22Look, I think it is a very major threat,

03:24not only for our children,

03:26that they will be disabled,

03:28or will die,

03:30but also as a country,

03:32as an economy,

03:34there is a lot of threat of sanctions,

03:36and it is still going on,

03:38and I think it is a big challenge,

03:40unfortunately,

03:42Pakistan is a primitive society,

03:44where perceptions,

03:46unfortunately,

03:48are stronger than reality,

03:50we tried a lot to dispel it,

03:52we also say that,

03:54it is absolutely safe,

03:56the vaccine,

03:58there is no male weakness,

04:00infertility,

04:02there is no danger,

04:04billions of doses have been administered,

04:06the whole world has eradicated it,

04:08unfortunately,

04:10we have martyred polio workers,

04:12what can be more brutal than this,

04:14this is the height of illiteracy,

04:16this is before the Prophet,

04:18we think,

04:20that this is an Islamic country,

04:22where there is so much ignorance,

04:24that a polio worker,

04:26who comes to feed you,

04:28or someone comes to protect your children,

04:30you kill him,

04:32so this is an unfortunate thing,

04:34and I think,

04:36we should not look for a tool,

04:38to change the mindset,

04:40I have worked in many countries,

04:42in any country,

04:44the vaccinators do not go home,

04:46we used to take our children 50 km,

04:48to get the polio vaccine,

04:50we used to take it ourselves,

04:52this is the biggest responsibility of a mother and a father,

04:54that they ensure their child,

04:56that he has taken it,

04:58and not once, but at least 3-4 times,

05:00if he is 5 years old or younger,

05:02so I think,

05:04we should do this with a lot of clarity,

05:06and especially in our KPK,

05:08its campaign should run,

05:10you understand it much better than me,

05:12which tool will be there,

05:14which will change the mindset,

05:16which will get us out of ignorance,

05:18so whatever it is,

05:20in whatever way it is,

05:22these high risk areas,

05:24we have to target them,

05:26so that we do it,

05:28and similarly,

05:30Karachi remains vulnerable,

05:32but we have to take it very seriously,

05:34we should not forget it at all,

05:36because that threat is very much there,

05:38and we are one of the only two countries,

05:40in which it is there.

05:42Right,

05:44we are also trying to do it,

05:46we keep talking about it,

05:48Sir, thank you very much,

05:50Doctor Sir,
