Realizing a Polio-Free World: Sustaining U.S. Support for Global Polio Eradication

The CSIS Global Health Policy Center will host an international conference that will highlight the role the U.S. is playing in global polio eradication and how that role will evolve as eradication is achieved. National governments and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative are edging toward global polio eradication, focusing the bulk of attention and resources toward the few remaining areas where the wild virus continues to circulate. While ensuring eradication remains the top priority, the global health community is also preparing to sustain valuable immunization and disease response tools developed during the initiative.
