Abstract

Since the World Health Assembly resolved in May 1988 to eradicate poliomyelitis, the estimated incidence of polio has decreased >99%, and three World Health Organization (WHO) regions (American, Western Pacific, and European) have been certified polio free. Member countries of the South-East Asia Region (SEAR) of WHO began accelerating polio eradication activities in 1994 and since then have made substantial progress toward that goal. By January 2001, indigenous wild poliovirus transmission in SEAR was limited to northern India, with ongoing poliovirus transmission posing a continuing threat to Bangladesh and Nepal. This report summarizes progress towards polio eradication in India, Bangladesh, and Nepal during January 2001-June 2002 and highlights the remaining challenges to eradicating polio in these countries.

摘要

自1988年5月世界卫生大会决定根除脊髓灰质炎以来，脊髓灰质炎的估计发病率已下降超过99%，世界卫生组织（WHO）的三个区域（美洲、西太平洋和欧洲）已被认证为无脊髓灰质炎地区。WHO东南亚区域（SEAR）的成员国于1994年开始加速脊髓灰质炎根除活动，自那时以来在实现该目标方面取得了重大进展。到2001年1月，SEAR地区本土野生脊髓灰质炎病毒传播仅限于印度北部，持续的脊髓灰质炎病毒传播对孟加拉国和尼泊尔构成持续威胁。本报告总结了2001年1月至2002年6月期间印度、孟加拉国和尼泊尔在根除脊髓灰质炎方面取得的进展，并突出了这些国家在根除脊髓灰质炎方面仍面临的挑战。
