Battle Against Polio Gets Major Grant

The global campaign to eradicate polio received a $200 million grant that health officials say will help fund the final push to wipe out the disease.

A world effort to beat polio has succeeded in slashing the number of cases by 99% during the past two decades, but the virus that causes the disease persists, mainly in Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Pakistan.

The grant from the Gates Foundation and Rotary International is the catalyst needed to finally eradicate the infection that mostly strikes children under 5 years old, said Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization.
