3 years ago Rukhsar Khatoon was diagnosed with polio, since then no other cases have been documented prompting The World Health Organization to declare the end of polio in India. This is amazing considering in 1988 when the campaign to prevent polio in india started. At that time about 200,000 children were diagnosed with polio a year. Now there are only 3 countries who haven't eradicated the disease.

This is amazing news especially with the current conditions of India. Their country has really made good progress with getting rid of polio since in 2009 it had half of the worlds cases. This is great news and I hope it helps out the current condition in India.
This is really great news!
