- The study looks at how Bangladesh has improved its polio monitoring system called Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) surveillance and what has helped and challenged this progress.* -
- It gathered information through surveys and interviews, finding that teamwork, local involvement, and community support helped reduce polio, while population growth and difficult areas made it harder.* -
- The report suggests that the knowledge from the AFP system can also help fight other diseases as the world aims to fully eliminate polio.*
