Abstract
<p>According to World Health Organization, Pakistan and Afghanistan are the last bastions of Poliomyelitis. Rest of the world has become Polio Free. They achieved this freedom after becoming part of Polio Eradication Initiative which was created in 1988 just after the World Health Assembly resolved to eradicate Polio Myelitis from the globe. The woes of Pakistan do not end here. According to &ldquo;Health Financing Progress Matrix Assessment Pakistan 2023. Summary of findings and recommendations&rdquo; by World Health Organization, the service coverage index of Pakistan despite showing a consistent surge over the years was still significantly lower with a score of 45 against an average of 58 amongst the low middle income group countries in year 2021. This calls for a need to revisit our strategic policy making in all spheres of life but especially in health and health education.
