Framework Introduction Current status of Polio in : a. World, b. India c. Maharashtra Lessons learnt from Global Polio Eradication initiatives (GPEI) and 107 Block Plan in India References

Introduction The world is on the verge of achieving global polio eradication. In May 2013, the 66thWorld Health Assembly endorsed the Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan 2013–2018 . This plan provides a concrete timeline for the completion of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) by eliminating all paralytic polio due to both wild and vaccine-related polioviruses.

The 4 principal objectives of the plan are : (1) Detect and interrupt all poliovirus transmission, (2) Strengthen immunization systems and withdraw all oral polio vaccine from use, (3) Contain poliovirus and certify interruption of transmission, and (4) Plan the polio eradication initiative’s legacy Thus it is important to document the lessons learned from polio eradication, especially considering that it is one of the largest ever global health initiatives.

In 1988 the World Health Assembly passed a resolution to eradicate polio, launching the Global Polio Eradication Initiative

Rukhsar Khatun. Let's ensure she is the last polio case in India!

Last Polio Case in Maharashtra EPID No.IND/MH/OBD/10/017 Onset: 16/09/2010 Name: Rajnandan Kiran Ade Age: 10 months Sex: Male Religion : Hindu District : Beed Address : Kalvati Tanda, Tq. Ambejogai, District Beed. Pulse Polio Doses – 0, Routine Immunization – 3

Lesson 1: Communications and Community Engagement: Mobilizing Social and Community Support for Vaccination Coordinating communications to support a global and national public health goal. Identifying individuals, themes, and social pillars Engaging with the media as a critical partner Mobilizing communities. Creating detailed neighbourhood vaccination team micro plans and maps Tracking of mobile and migrant groups and communicating to these groups while they are in transit Reaching families with information and vaccine, even when they are out of the house during campaign days Using traditional, religious, community and civil society leaders and structures for community mobilization

Lesson 2. Communications and Community Engagement: Using Targeted Disease Initiatives Throughout the eradication effort, community demands for additional services beyond OPV This have affected vaccine uptake in varying degrees of intensity. After more than a decade of offering OPV, the 107 Block Plan was a critical strategy to maintaining the hard-won trust and motivation of communities to finish the job.

107 Block Plan- India Analysis of WPV1 cases over the past 6 years* reveals that over 80% of type 1 cases have been reported from only 107 blocks (66 in UP and 41 in Bihar, see map below). These blocks represent only 2% of the administrative areas of the country and are responsible for generating multiple WPV1 cases, infecting other areas, and providing refuge for WPV1 persistence.

In India, the 107 Block Plan promoted and delivered routine immunization, zinc, oral rehydration salts, and sanitation services to the final bastions of virus transmission, in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. In Pakistan and Nigeria, similar strategies are proving to be the linchpin to gaining access to hesitant or opponent households and even communities. Communicating for polio vaccination has served as a springboard for broader public health outcomes by: Tracking and counselling pregnant mothers on prenatal health and routine immunization

Conducting targeted communication and outreach for routine immunization sessions and advocating for the improvement of sessions that were poorly attended, managed, and stocked Advocating for better delivery of health services that meet social, cultural, and gender-based needs of communities. Building trust for OPV in inaccessible or insecure communities through the hosting of health camps

Lesson 3. The Value of an Advanced, State-of-the-Art Global, Regional, and National Laboratory Network

Provision of timely data on a weekly basis via the tiered structure become the model for other laboratory networks Integration of case-based epidemiologic and laboratory information Performance of environmental surveillance to supplement case-based data Extension of the model to include networks for measles, rubella, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, rotavirus infection, invasive bacterial disease infections, and influenza. Share knowledge and findings; and periodic regional and national staff training to maintain and enhance capacity

Lesson 4. Real-time Disease Surveillance and Response: Capacity, Data Analysis, and Immunization Program Monitoring GPEI has developed and sustained a high-performance disease surveillance and program monitoring system that has enabled rapid detection of polio cases and outbreak response throughout the world, including in low-income countries. Recognizing this synergistic relationship, the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE), noted that “Closer linkages between measles and rubella program activities and the GPEI has well-recognized benefits.

Innovations: Performance of case-based, rapid clinical and epidemiologic case investigation and reporting Creation of a weekly global, regional and country World Wide Web–based reporting system with mapping of individual cases that is publicly available and unprecedented in scope Unparalleled global surveillance and response capacity Integration of case-based epidemiologic and laboratory information Provision of data-driven guidance on allocation of resources, outbreak investigations, measurement of program progress, adjustments/ improvements in program strategy, and implementation

5. Addressing Strategy Implementation in Conflict-Affected Areas and the Risks of International Spread to Previously Polio-Free Countries GPEI reaffirms the importance of coordinating global efforts to minimize the risk of re-infecting polio-free countries and areas. It uses the World Health Assembly, other forums, and (recently) the International Health Regulations to persuade low-performing countries to increase their commitments and improve the quality of program performance.

6. Essential Need for a Program of Research and Innovation The GPEI has maintained an active ongoing research agenda, driven by the need to adapt and optimize strategies. Research based scientific and technological developments in areas such as diagnostic tests (eg, PCR), vaccinology, and cold-chain technology (eg, vaccine vial monitors) to enhance program effectiveness and reduce cost. Development of special strategies to reach underserved and migrant populations Universal use of finger-marking and independent monitoring technologies, including lot quality assurance sampling to monitor supplementary immunization activity (SIA) quality

Lesson 7. Partnership Coordination, Advocacy, and Resource Mobilization Cross-agency coordination of an effective advocacy agenda and crucial support to the GPEI by political bodies such as the African Union, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Commonwealth, and especially the Group of Eight .

The effort often lead by Rotary International as the pivotal member among the GPEI’s 4 spearheading partners and also mobilized key persons, including UN leaders, business magnates, and international personalities and local political, community, religious, and traditional leaders in support of the eradication effort. Partnership coordination, input, and participation in strategy development, planning, and operations is facilitated by an extensive set of advisory, monitoring, and technical groups to inform the decision- making process. Interagency coordination committee use at regional and national levels, first used in the Americas/Pan American Health Organization for their regional polio eradication initiative during 1985–1991

Lesson 8. Strategic Planning and Policy Development Budget and time line with measures taken to successfully raise most of the needed funds up front For e.g. $4.1 billion of the $5.5 billion estimated cost was used on improving immunization systems in key geographic areas Multiyear strategic plans and planning processes throughout the life of the GPEI Elaborated national emergency action plans for the 2 remaining polio-endemic countries (Afghanistan and Pakistan) Technical advisory groups and policy development at a global (SAGE), regional, and national level in key countries National, state, and subnational task forces in key countries to guide and implement strategy

Lesson 9. Oversight and Independent Monitoring and Evaluation An independent body of respected and competent leaders should be formed as an independent monitoring group to assess progress toward the eradication goal for all stakeholders. A strong central technical advisory body consisting of highly qualified and experienced people provide ongoing technical guidance and direction for a global initiative. Global and regional certification commissions are independent bodies appointed by the Director-General of the WHO to oversee the process of certifying individual regions and the world as free of polio.

Lesson 10. Monitoring of Program Accountability and Performance National emergency action plans were established for the 3 remaining polio-endemic countries (Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan), creating oversight bodies at the country level reporting to heads of state, to intensify political and administrative accountability for the quality of key eradication activities. Micro plans were created, and mapping of communities (including use of global positioning systems) was performed. Accountability frameworks were created and implemented. SIA coverage surveys, SIAs independent monitoring teams, lot quality assurance sampling, and sero-prevalence surveys were performed to link accountability with objective monitoring data.
