OVERVIEW
Turkey
Ira is one of the highest risk countries for polio eradication in the Middle East due to
vulnerable populations living in multiple governorates. These include internally displaced
populations, refugees, and communities dwelling in slums and vast portions of the
country where insecurity hinders health outreach activities.

Population movement, damage to health facilities and a shortage of health workers
continue to create hurdles in reaching every child under five with oral polio vaccine
(OP ). Through strong collaboration between the Ministry of Health, WHO and UNI E ,
and support from donors, vaccination teams have been able to consistently reach over
9 % of all children under five in the last nine campaigns since April 2 14.
