Nigeria is closer than ever to eradicating polio, 
riding a successful effort to reach children in seven northern states
 at highest risk for the disease
. On 22 July, Forbes contributor Devin Thorpe 
conducted an exclusive interview with the three 
national Polio Plus committee heads from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria, 
where the transmission of polio has never been stopped


Watch the video

 
             Polio, once a global monster, is now a cornered rat, lashing out in hopes of repopulating. Reduced 99.9 percent from an average number of cases around 400,000 thirty years ago, the number of global polio cases has been cut to around 400 annually. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative hopes to see the final case of polio either late this year or early next year. All polio cases, regardless of where they are found, now originate from three countries: Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. You can count the number of cases this year in Afghanistan or Nigeria on your fingers; the end of polio there is clearly within reach.
All three countries have been impacted by conflict in recent years, making the battle against polio at this critical stage challenging. The battle is so pitched that the World Health Organization or WHO, declared a “public health emergency” in an effort to garner greater cooperation among countries to prevent the spread of polio, especially from the three endemic countries.
