Kenya: Kenya headed for polio free

Kenya will soon be declared a polio free zone. Minister for Health Charity Ngilu says this follows the formulation of a taskforce on polio-virus laboratory containment. The Polio Taskforce would be charged with the responsibility of preparing the country for polio free certification and is also expected to provide a systematic national plan of action to minimize the risk of reintroduction of wild polioviruses from the laboratory.
