Summary
Although the Word Health Organization (WHO) launched the global polio eradication initiative 22 years ago, reports of new cases of this serious disease from various parts of the world are far from being uncommon. Former Czechoslovakia became the first country in the world to achieve polio eradication at the nationwide level. Since summer 1960, no case of non-imported paralytic poliomyelitis has been reported since 1961, Czechoslovakia has been the first country in the world to control permanently the spread of wild poliovirus strains.
Keywords:
