We Can Eradicate Polio

• In March 2014, the WHO South-East Asia Region was certified polio free, marking a significant leap forward in global eradication, with 80% of the world’s population now living in certified polio-free regions.

• The world can be freed of the threat of polio - with everyone's commitment, from parent to government worker and political leader to the international community.

“If we fail to get over the finish line, we will need to continue expensive control measures for the indefinite future…,More importantly, without eradication,  a resurgence of polio could paralyze more than 200,000 children worldwide every year within a decade.” Now is the time, we must not fail.
