It's official - The WHO Africa Region has been declared wild polio-free!
On August 25th,
the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Africa region, has officially
been certified free from wild poliovirus [LINK],
signifying a major milestone in the battle to eradicate the disease
worldwide.
This progress is the result of a decades-long
effort across the 47 countries which make up the WHO’s African
region and now means that five of the six WHO regions, which
represent 90% of the world’s population, will be free of wild
polio.
Rotary members have played an invaluable role in
the effort to rid the African region of wild polio.
