[112170]
- Answer
-
The UK works collaboratively with our partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative and other supporters to ensure that the three endemic country governments of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria have the resources necessary to undertake their action plans. This includes encouraging them to increase the share of their own resources devoted to polio eradication and to strengthen routine immunisation, following the best practice example set by India.
