ICROSS POLIO CAMPAIGN 2013
Latest News » 11 December 2013
Polio is a very dangerous infectious disease that is spread virally
from person to person; it is one of the most damaging infections of the
spinal chord.
For thirty years ICROSS has been implementing polio vaccine prevention programs protecting over two hundred thousand children in our joint programs with the ministry of health, we have protected these children, as there is no cure for polio.
Kenya launched a polio vaccination campaign to limit the increased outbreaks of polio and ICROSS began its largest ever polio vaccination campaign lead by ICROSS community leaders OleSaitaga, OleLengenu and ministry of health staff.
This remains one of the most serious and endemic serious diseases which is why ICROSS together with the Kenyan government has launched this major initiative and is our largest Polio campaign yet. Dr Mike Meegan, International Director, congratulated the combined teams and volunteers on the extended campaign and their dedication.
