Prof. Mohamed Janabi(@ProfJanabi):Polio eradication is achievable, but it requires an emergency mindset, not business as usual. Good discussions with the #Polio Oversight Board in Berlin today, reinforcing the need to accelerate action & strengthen accountability at all levels. Outbreak closures in 5 African countries this year show what strong campaigns, surveillance + political commitment can deliver. Yet funding constraints are already weakening response & surveillance in high-risk countries. Protecting the 2027 outbreak response budget and strengthening routine immunization are essential to sustain progress & finish the job.
