Polio Strategy Overview
Goals: To eradicate polio worldwide.
1)Vaccination Campaign
Our main objective is to improve the quality of campaign in Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan or we targeted on the poor countries like Africa. In Kano, Nigeria, children were given oral polio vaccine. Our goals also include to reach all children in their first life from the highest-risk countries that need multiple doses of Polio Vaccination Campaign.
2)Routine Immunisation Systems.
With the help of our partner we are trying to make our RIS strong that include Polio and other vaccines-preventable diseases which include Diphtheria, Tetanus, Whooping Cough and Measles. 20% of the world's kids did not receive the immunisation of different kind.
3) Surveillance and Monitoring
It is important to identify and verify where the eradication of the virus happened. A surveillance system was set up and they critically evaluate and target where should the campaign be and making an adjustment for programmes in a organised time. Also they bring out an efficient manner and addressed the outbreak
As a student in Fairview International School are required to do Community and Service because we want to make a change and appreciate what we have since we are the fortunate student to have a well established school with an excellent education system.Bill and Melinda Foundation funds health and education projects all around the world. I think that he did the right thing by setting up the organisation because he believe that we can make a change to our world. The Gates have established the foundation and they have made the world a better place for those who could not afford to pay for their terrible health condition and getting education for the children.
