It has been one full year since
polio was detected anywhere in Africa, a significant milestone in global
health that has left health experts around the world quietly
celebrating.
The goal had
seemed tantalizingly close in recent years, but polio always managed to
roar back, particularly in Nigeria. Then officials embraced a vigorous
new approach to vaccination and surveillance in that country, hiring
thousands of community “mobilizers” to seek out the unvaccinated,
opening operations centers nationwide to track progress, and seeking out
support from clerics and tribal chiefs.
The
result has been remarkable. The last African case of polio was detected
in Somalia on Aug. 11, 2014, the final sign of an outbreak with its
roots in Nigeria. The virus had never been eradicated in Nigeria, even
temporarily, but the last case there was recorded on July 24, 2014.
