Abstract
Like the condition of security and governance, health is also a major concern for Pakistan and there is a large population on an already insufficient medical treatment structure to cater for. Amongst various other diseases prevalent in Pakistan Poliomyelitis is one of the key concerns of the country with respect to medical situation. This research investigates the reasons behind the rejection of polio drops in Balochistan; weaknesses and efficiency of the polio eradication campaign and effects of cross-border movement and its governance between Afghanistan and Pakistan on the efficacy of the campaigns. The findings suggest that illiteracy, lack of motivation, religious interpretations, governance and security are the major challenges to the polio campaigns in the context of Balochistan.
