WHO: Thanks to the UAE, millions of world's children reached with polio vaccines

The world Health Organisation (WHO) has paid tribute to the United Arab Emirates for its pivotal role, through the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the initiative of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, to eliminate all cases of polio around the world. In a report published in its official website, the WHO said in the last week of August, more than 15.5 million children across Pakistan’s highest-risk districts received the most vital health interventions to protect them from polio: two drops of oral polio vaccine, thanks to the UAE's Pakistan Assistance Programme (UAE PAP). http://www.wam.ae/en/news/emirates-international/1395300307283.html
