Libya has received official acceptance from the World Health Organization (WHO) of its continued effort to remain polio-free, the libyan National Center for Disease Control said Tuesday.
The acceptance was conveyed in an official letter dated Saturday from the Regional Commission for the Certification of Poliomyelitis Eradication in the WHO’s Eastern Mediterranean Region to Libya’s National Certification Committee.
The center said the recognition reflected Libya’s commitment to epidemiological surveillance standards and efficient national immunization program, as well as ongoing efforts to protect public health.
