Emily Brown

This paper presents an in-depth examination of Nigeria's successful campaign to eradicate polio, a devastating infectious disease. We document the various strategies employed, from immunization campaigns to community engagement efforts, highlighting their effectiveness. We also discuss the challenges faced during the campaign and how they were addressed. The experiences and lessons from Nigeria can offer valuable insights for other countries still battling polio.
