MERF at the Frontline of Pakistan’s Polio Eradication Efforts

As Pakistan advances toward a polio-free future, MERF remains at the forefront of national efforts, actively contributing to the recent National Polio Eradication Campaign across high-risk and underserved areas.

Backed by strategic support from global partners such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, UNICEF, and Gavi, MERF has deployed trained health workers, strengthened facility-based immunization services, and expanded outreach in both urban and remote settings.

From outreach & facility based vaccination services, MERF ensures no child is missed. Community engagement lies at the heart of its strategy — involving local leaders, addressing vaccine hesitancy, and empowering families with accurate health information.

Beyond polio, MERF integrates routine immunization, maternal and child health, and nutrition services, contributing to stronger health systems and improved child well-being nationwide.

Rooted in compassion, community trust, and scientific excellence, MERF reaffirms its commitment: every child reached is a step closer to a polio-free Pakistan.
