What is the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI)?
The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) is a public health effort launched in 1988 to eliminate polio worldwide. This initiative is a collaboration between national governments, the World Health Organization (WHO), Rotary International, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The GPEI aims to eradicate all types of poliovirus and has made significant strides in reducing polio cases globally.
