Commit To Immunising Every Child

Every year, October 24th is observed as World Polio Day to raise awareness of the importance of polio vaccination and its role in protecting every child from this devastating disease. The World Health Organisation (WHO) also celebrates this day as a tribute to the efforts of parents, professionals, and volunteers who have contributed to polio eradication in most countries worldwide. However, polio remains endemic in countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan. Nepal was declared polio-free by WHO in 2014.
