Since 2014, the Emirates Polio Campaign has worked to protect children in Pakistan from polio, delivering over 850 million vaccine doses to some of the country’s hardest-to-reach communities.
But ending polio takes more than vaccines. It needs health workers willing to listen to families, earn trust, and find new ways to reach every child.
On #WorldPolioDay, we celebrate the health workers whose dedication is helping bring us closer to a world free from polio. We are proud to support their work.
