Description:In the 30 years since the 1988 World Health Assembly adopted a resolution for the worldwide eradication of polio, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) has reduced the number of wild polio cases from 350 000 across 125 countries to 33 in just two countries in 2018. This scale and progress across global health and disease eradication efforts were only possible thanks to the polio eradication community’s perseverance and continuous learning and innovation.
The ability to adjust and amend the approach to succeed has been a cornerstone of the polio eradication programme, and 2018 was another year demonstrating the GPEI’s flexibility.
