GENEVA (Reuters) Jun 21 –
The World Health Organization (WHO) Friday declared Europe and Central Asia free of polio.
The declaration came after no indigenous cases were registered for three years in the WHO’s 51-country European region, which stretches from Greenland to Turkey and across the Russian Federation and the Central Asian states of the former Soviet Union.
“This is a tremendous achievement in the global effort to eradicate polio,” said WHO regional director for Europe Marc Danzon.
