ISLAMABAD: Coordinator to the Prime Minister on Health Dr Mukhtar Malik Bharat on Monday claimed that the govt would take all possible steps to provide vaccine to every child under Expanded Programme of Immunisation (EPI).

At the occasion District Health Office inaugurated the “Big Catch-Up” activity under the banner of the “From Zero to Hero” campaign.
