To commemorate the International Day of Polio, we are taking a clear look at the progress made and the work that remains.
In 1988, polio paralyzed an estimated 350,000 people in a single year. Today, cases are down by more than 99%, but the virus has not been defeated yet.
Our Polio Today is an interactive, scroll-through explainer that takes you through where the fight against polio stands right now: what the disease is, where it survives, why new outbreaks are emerging, and what it will take to finally end it.
Scroll through each section at your own pace, explore the data, and see why global action still matters.
