A 14 month old child was diagnosed with polio virus in the Miranshah area of North Waziristan Agency.
A statement issued on Friday by the Prime Minister’s Polio Monitoring Cell confirmed the detection of the case.
No polio team has visited the area since 2012 as the government had discontinued anti-polio campaign in the region following attacks on several polio teams by militants.
The latest case brings the total number of polio cases detected in the country during the current year to 59.
