Polio eradication is a global public health initiative aimed at eliminating all cases of poliomyelitis, a paralytic disease caused by the poliovirus. The initiative was launched in 1988 by the World Health Organization (WHO) and has since been supported by governments, NGOs, and other organizations around the world.
History of Polio Eradication
Polio was once a common childhood disease, causing paralysis and death in countless individuals. In the 1950s, a vaccine was developed that effectively prevented the disease, and vaccination programs were implemented in many countries.
