Call For Renewed Global Commitment on World Polio Day – 24th October 2011

ABC Radio – Monday marks World Polio Day, a day set aside to remember the disease that threatens children with paralysis, sometimes even death.

Twenty years ago, polio killed or paralysed 350,000 children each year worldwide. 

Since then, lifesaving vaccines have dramatically reduced the spread of polio with 99 percent of the world free from the disease. But a recent outbreak in China, as well as persistent challenges in Africa and Pakistan, show that polio is still a serious threat.
