Poliomyelitis eradication
A public health effort to eliminate all cases of poliomyelitis (polio) infection around the world, begun in 1988 and led by the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF and the Rotary Foundation, has reduced the number of annual diagnosed cases from the hundreds of thousands to 291 in 2012. This represents a 99.9% reduction, but in 2013 and 2014 there has been an bounce back in some countries towards more cases. Of the three types of polio, the last recorded wild case of type 2 was in 1999. The last recorded case of type 3 was on 11 November 2012. All reported cases since 11 November 2012 have been of type 1. If polio is the next disease to be successfully eradicated, this will represent only the third time this has ever been achieved, after smallpox and rinderpest. The goal of eradicating polio worldwide has attracted international and media attention, but since 2001 progress has been erratic in reducing the number of cases, which has led to getting rid of the last 1% being described as ""like trying to squeeze Jell-O to death"". However, in 2011 incidence rates of the disease were dramatically reduced, and with large reduction again in 2012, hopes for eliminating polio have been rekindled. India is the latest country to successfully stop transmission of polio - with its last reported case in 2011. Of the 3 remaining countries with endemic polio, Nigeria's last reported case was 24 July 2014, while the other 2 endemic countries - Afghanistan and Pakistan - have had significantly reduced new cases in 2015. The number of cases reported in the first 6 months of 2015 has been about a quarter of the rate of the preceding 3 years.
