Although Pakistan remains the country of most concern it is pleasing to note that through the efforts and funding by the Rotary and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations the year to date figures are slightly down with Nigeria showing the most promise with the last case reported in July. Only Wild type A Polio cases are seen in these tables with no cases reported for Type C in the past two years. Another success.

It is safe to say that polio eradication would not be possible without the contribution of women. This International Women’s Day, the theme is ‘Make It Happen: encouraging effective action for advancing and recognising women’. Women in polio eradication vaccinate children on the frontline, implement strong surveillance and data analysis systems, provide technical and scientific support to governments, and mobilize communities.
