“I accompany polio teams when they go to dangerous areas. I know I put myself at risk, yet my duty is to protect andsave the lives of others. Polio eradication is a jihad, it is God’s work and it gives me immense pleasure to be part of it. I carry a gun when I go out with the teams. I try to create an environment in which vaccinators can safely do their jobs. Through my support and the dedicated work that the polio teams are doing, we hope to eradicate polio from Pakistan as soon as possible so that no child has to suffer anymore.”
