The World Health Organisation has declared that 80% of the
world is now free of polio, after no new cases were recorded in India in the
past three years.
The
WHO says polio has now been stamped out in its entire Southeast Asia region,
which includes India but not Pakistan or Afghanistan.
Since the mid-1990s India has conducted a huge immunization
campaign, vaccinating 170 million children.The achievement is seen as a major
milestone in the fight against the deadly virus.
However polio which can cause paralysis - remains endemic in
Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria.
Response
In my opinion the success of
the WHO polio eradication in Southeast Asia is quite well and good, but a
benchmark of 170 million children vaccinated too early conclude success in
Southeast Asia because of the more than the result the number children in the
world and very much exceeded asia benchmark achievement earlier. There are
still many children crippled by polio even children who died from polio views
of the polio virus lodged in their bodies. WHO biggest challenge this time is
to eradicate POLIO virus in its other regions, especially Southeast Asia which
has the largest population of children and held his vaccination of other
diseases that children in the world not only in Southeast Asia, including in
the world can be free of viruses as well as its other diseases, so they can be
children more cheerful and the children a good successor to world civilization
and so proud.
