The following year, after another such assembly approved a Plan of Action for a Global Polio Eradication Initiative, the WHO Regional Committee for Africa took up the assembly's resolution, and in 1995 again urged the vigorous implementation of the strategies for the polio eradication initiative. The African Union, at its annual summit meeting of African heads of state in 1996, endorsed the eradication initiative.

The resolution to end the deadly virus has seen health professionals, health organizations, political leaders, donor agencies and health activist groups across countries coming together working tirednessly to achieve a common goal of #ZeroPolio worldwide.

Together,  we shall continue to kick out polio
