Despite remarkable decline in the number of poliomyelitis cases, the dream of polio eradication in India remains elusive. This is despite considerable effort and expenditure for well over a decade. Various reasons have been cited for this and interventions implemented accordingly. None of these seem to have borne fruit. It is appropriate to have a relook at the polio eradication strategies in order to learn from past errors and determine a feasible solution to achieve the goal. This article examines important tissues that hamper the eradication effort and proposes a way forward.
尽管脊髓灰质炎病例数量显著下降，但在印度根除脊髓灰质炎的梦想仍难以实现。尽管十多年来付出了巨大努力和投入了大量资金，但仍未实现这一目标。人们为此列举了各种原因，并相应地实施了干预措施。然而，这些措施似乎都没有取得成效。有必要重新审视脊髓灰质炎根除策略，以便从过去的错误中吸取教训，并确定实现这一目标的可行解决方案。本文探讨了阻碍根除工作的重要因素，并提出了前进的方向。
