Resilience and partnership: Ukraine's continued response to the polio outbreak

Circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) was detected in Ukraine in 2021. Since that time, WHO and partners have been assisting Ukraine to respond to the polio outbreak. Thanks to the concerted efforts of WHO, international partners, national authorities and local communities, no cases of polio have been detected in the country for over a year. Dr Raymond Dankoli, WHO Polio Outbreak Response Coordinator, and others on the ground explain what it takes to detect and stop transmission of this deadly disease.
