UNITED NATIONS, (PNA/APP) — The world is closer than ever to eradicating polio, the World Health Organization, a UN agency, said Thursday while warning that children continue to be at risk amid reports of suspected cases in Syria.
“This is no time for complacency, and efforts must be redoubled to ensure this disease is eradicated once and for all. World Polio Day marks the perfect opportunity to remind us of this fact,” WHO said in its message for the Day. World Polio Day is observed annually on October 24.
