Pakistan’s fight to end polio amid the climate crisis
Pakistan, one of the last two endemic countries for wild polio, is closer than ever before to ending this devastating disease for good.
The Global Polio Eradication Initiative is a public-private partnership led by national governments with six partners – the World Health Organization (WHO), Rotary International, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Gavi, the vaccine alliance. Its goal is to eradicate polio worldwide.
