The Role of WHO in Protecting Angolans Against Polio: A report on the 2023 national campaign
In September and October 2023, the Government of Angola organised a national polio campaign vaccinating more than 6.2 million children. This was possible with support from the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) and partners such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Rotary International and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The National Polio Campaign brought together the diverse provinces of Angola under the shared vision of a polio-free nation. This report will give you a brief overview of the campaign, highlighting WHO’s role and the synergy of coordination and innovation.
