CDC understands the value of public health, partnership

CDC understands the value of public health, partnership

What is that Polio Picture? August 26, 2021, Brazzaville – Governments from the World Health Organization (WHO) African Region have committed to ending all remaining forms of polio and presented a scorecard to track progress towards the eradication of the virus. The commitments came at a dedicated meeting on polio at the Seventy-first WHO Regional Committee for Africa.  

Like this Nigerian girl, CDC understands the value of public health, partnership and walking the last mile to defeat polio.

CDC’s Dr. Richard Franka reflects on his encounter in 2018, “while her parents worked nearby, this big sister gave her brother the gift of lifetime protection against polio by bringing him to the immunization campaign site.”

Polio surveillance efforts to keep their communities safe amid crisis

Polio surveillance efforts to keep their communities safe amid crisis

What is that Polio Picture? Keep Kenya Polio-Free during Covid – When the pandemic caused lock downs in Nairobi, community health workers had to move to protect against COVID-19 in addition to polio. See how local health workers educated community members on stopping the spread of disease and strengthened Polio surveillance efforts to keep their communities safe amid crisis.

WHO and UNICEF would like to thank His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, for his generous contribution of US$ 13 million to support global polio activities. This funding compliments contributions through the UAE Pakistan Assistance Program for campaign activities in Pakistan.
