Dr.N.A
    This could be yes or no as the progress in Nigeria and India is real and provides reasons for optimism. However, Pakistan is set to do much worse this year than last and if progress can be sustained and capitalized on in India and Nigeria may well be the last remaining area of polio circulation in the world. However, the virus continues to circulate and taking the enormous positive steps in India and Nigeria from where they are to interruption and then eradication is not guaranteed and will require the continued hard work and energy of many people, organizations and governments. We must continue to focus on the places showing progress and renew efforts in those that are not doing as well as they could. There is progress but the final outcome remains to be secured.
