The United Nations has revealed that polio has been reduced by 99 percent worldwide since the establishment of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in 1988.

UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric made the revelation on the occasion of World Polio Day on October 24.

Dujarric however said, ‘Despite that progress, as long as a single child remains infected with poliovirus, children in all countries are at risk of contracting the disease.’
