UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
For every child,health
UNICEF is a core partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) which aims to complete the eradication and containment of all wild, vaccine‑related and Sabin polioviruses, such that no child ever again suffers paralytic poliomyelitis. To date, global incidence of polio has decreased by 99.9% since GPEI’s inception and an estimated 16 million people today are walking who would otherwise have been paralyzed by the disease, and more than 1.5 million people are alive, whose lives would otherwise have been lost.
Now the task remains to tackle polio in its last few strongholds and to get rid of the final 0.1% of polio cases.
