End Polio Now
End Polio Now is a global effort to eradicate the poliovirus, which causes poliomyelitis, a disease that can lead to paralysis or death. Through vaccination campaigns, improved sanitation, and surveillance, health organizations aim to eliminate the virus from all countries. The goal is to protect future generations by stopping transmission completely, eventually making polio a disease of the past. This initiative involves governments, nonprofits, and communities working together to ensure every child is vaccinated, especially in regions where the virus persists. Successful eradication would be a major public health achievement, preventing unnecessary suffering worldwide.
