Polio eradication refers to the global effort to eliminate the disease known as poliomyelitis, which can cause paralysis and even death. This initiative began in the 1980s, led by organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. Vaccination campaigns have been crucial, using the oral polio vaccine to immunize children worldwide, especially in areas where the disease is still prevalent. Thanks to these efforts, polio cases have dropped by over 99% since the 1980s. However, challenges remain, such as vaccine hesitancy and access in remote regions. Continued commitment and resources are essential to achieve complete eradication and protect future generations from this debilitating disease.
