South Sudan Reports No Wild Polio Cases Since 2009
Original: South Sudan reports ‘no wild’ polio cases since 2009, health officials say
Health officials in South Sudan say the country has recorded no cases of wild polio since 2009, marking more than a decade without the disease circulating naturally. The announcement highlights progress in the country's vaccination campaigns, though health authorities stress continued immunisation efforts are needed to keep the virus out and protect children.
Why now: Public health progress on polio elimination is a notable milestone for a country with a fragile health system.
