The Global Polio Eradication Initiative dramatically reduced polio cases by over 99.9% since 1988. This review covers the initiative's progress in combating polio transmission worldwide.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Epidemiology
  • Global Health Initiatives

Background:

  • Polio transmission was widespread in 1988, affecting 125 countries with 350,000 cases.
  • The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) was launched to eliminate poliomyelitis worldwide.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the progress and outcomes of the GPEI since its inception.
  • To analyze the reduction in polio cases and endemic countries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of GPEI data and reports.
  • Analysis of polio transmission trends from 1988 to 2012.

Main Results:

  • Polio cases reduced from 350,000 in 1988 to 223 in 2012.
  • Endemic transmission decreased from 125 countries to only 3.

Conclusions:

  • The GPEI has achieved significant success in reducing global polio transmission.
  • Substantial progress has been made towards the goal of polio eradication.
