OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME:
Reoccurrence of polio in a polio-free country is a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). An outbreak of polio has been declared in Papua New Guinea after a polio case of circulated vaccine-derived polio virus (cVDPV) was reported. The onset of this index case was in April 2019. By the end of November 2018, there have been 25 cases in 9 provinces and 2 contact specimens confirmed to be positive for cVDPV1, and all cases have related to each other.
Papua is the most eastern province in Indonesia. It has a direct border with Papua New Guinea.
