Polio this week as of 4 October 2016
The new Global Polio Eradication Initiative web site has been launched! The site features a new design, allowing visitors to see the latest information on the programme, interactive data visualizations and media content including photo essays and videos. All resources from the previous website is available on the new site as well.
Explore the new design and organization of the GPEI web site: Polio Today contains the latest case counts, a history of polio, facts on the virus and prevention, and information on preparing for a polio-free world through transition planning and the endgame strategy. Who We Are contains our mission statement, strategy, information about the key partners of the program, and official reports released by the programme’s governing bodies. Where We Work provides detailed information on the endemic, outbreak, at-risk, and polio-free countries; funding-related updates will be included in the Financing section; News will house all media content, including the monthly newsletter (Polio News).
