Polio to be wiped out by the end of this decade!

Scientists have come up with the hope that by the end of this decade there would be a world without polio. Unwrapping their dream, Dr Bruce Aylward, director of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative at the World Health Organization said:

We won’t go into the next decade with polio.

Polio has been expunged from most of the developed countries. However, it is still holding up its head in some developing countries like India, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It is strange that massive polio eradication campaign in India has not been able to eradicate polio fully and experts blame overcrowded and unhygienic conditions for this. However, they believe that a lit bit of change in vaccination program may do wonders.

In these developing countries, polio should be taken as a challenge to wipe it out fully.
