In 30 years, with UK support, GPEI has led efforts that have reduced cases of polio by 99%.</p><p> </p><p>DFID closely monitors progress towards eradication through a number of mechanisms including our membership of GPEI’s key governance bodies and our country-level engagement.

We must remain focussed on completing the task to ensure the benefits to global health are not lost, and that we do not slide back.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 22/07/2019 16:21:03 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
