International Polio Day

International Polio Day observed

It was conducted in partnership with World Health Organisation, Department of Health, Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Rotary PNG, representing the civil society partners and stakeholders.

The successful campaign against polio virus in the last one year has placed Papua New Guinea on world map, according to Dr. Daoni Esorom, from the National Department of Health.   

There were eight rounds of the campaign that were delivered successfully despite hardship that the partners experienced in reaching remote places.
