“Irfan is one of the 260,000 heroes who reach out to children with polio vaccines in harsh weather conditions” Imran Khan said in a tweet.

260,000 polio workers have been tasked to vaccinate children across the country.

Here is an image of female polio workers from Dadu in Sindh. These ladies are also setting an example of selflessly working for humanity and saving Pakistan’s future generations.

And here is a regretful scenario. Polio workers should be provided with necessary facilities and better monetary compensations.

We hope that PM Imran Khan’s gesture will inspire people to value and cherish polio workers, our unsung heroes, more, and we hope that government pays them more too.
Because that is the least they deserve.
