Polio Eradication In India: Miles to go in Health Outcomes Read more about Polio Eradication In India: Miles to go in Health Outcomes

‘INDIA achieved a milestone’, few days back this was the headline of all newspapers which was regarding the polio eradication in the country. Of course it was not less than achieving a milestone that now India did not find single case of polio anywhere in the country during last one year. January 13, 2012 was a great day in the history of Indian Public Health when the country completed 12 months period without any case of epidemic polio, since last case of polio was a two year old girl in West Bengal reported on 13 January last year.  This achievement of eradicating polio from the country is something worth celebrating.
