As discussed in a previous post, the World Health Organization covered three main issues in the recent World Health Assembly meeting.
The fight against Polio, one of the top issues discussed, is centered on Nigeria right now. Ongoing polio eradication is a tough task because of the nature of the disease, but developed and developing nations alike have shown it possible to wipe out the crippling infection.
Bill Gates has dedicated enormous resources to stop polio in Nigeria and West Africa. Vision Africa founder Bishop Sunday Onuoha was invited to meet with Mr. Gates on this issue during his recent visit to the country. While they had conflicting schedules and could not meet, the ever growing focus on public health in Africa's largest country has led to some visionary efforts from courageous leaders.
Stay tuned to this space for more news about Vision Africa's public health efforts.
