Abaqulusi Private Hospital joins the global community in commemorating World Polio Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the ongoing fight to end poliomyelitis (polio) worldwide.

Polio is a life-threatening disease caused by the poliovirus, which can lead to paralysis and, in severe cases, death. Since the World Health Assembly’s commitment in 1988 to eradicate polio, remarkable progress has been made through vaccination and global health initiatives.

At RH Piet Retief Private Hospital, we stand with health professionals, parents, and communities who continue to play a vital role in protecting every child through routine immunization. Maintaining high vaccination coverage remains essential to ensure a polio-free future for all.

Let’s continue to support awareness, prevention, and immunization because together, we can end polio for good.
