Did you know?
In 2025, WHO supported the @GovtofPakistan to conduct 5 nationwide polio vaccination campaigns and 7 targeted drives, protecting over 45M children from paralytic polio. All evidence & science is telling us that, together, we can #EndPolio in Pakistan & worldwide.
#UNDay in Lahore:
A big thank you to the Pakistani families, health frontliners, & partners who joined us to spread the message to #EndPolio in Pakistan & across the world.
Together, we can eradicate this global health threat & protect our children & our grandchildren, forever.
Every action matters. Every voice adds strength to the movement. Together, we've come so far...and together, we'll finish the job ♥️

A five-day mass #polio vaccination in #Gaza concluded in Feb, reaching nearly 603 000 children under 10 years of age.
The campaign was conducted by the Ministry of Health and implemented with support from @WHO, @UNICEFpalestine, @UNRWA, and other partners.
The ceasefire allowed the health workers to reach more children than during previous vaccination rounds in 2024, including the children who may have been missed due to population movement and those who were unreachable due to insecurity.
Ending polio hinges on fully vaccinating every last child and ensuring uninterrupted access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene, and proper nutrition.

En 1955, Jonas Salk descubrió la vacuna contra la poliomelitis y decidió no patentarla para hacerla más asequible y que pudiera llegar a millones de personas que podían necesitarla.
Estaba rechazando 7 mil millones de dólares ($7000000000).
Gracias Dr. Salk (1914-1995)!

In 2025, let’s commit to reaching children with vaccines to #EndPolio and create a healthier world for all. https://t.co/1MdzOy6DQf
