Global leaders pledged $1.9 billion to fight polio, closing part of a $440 million gap, as outbreaks persist in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and 18 other countries.
Global leaders, including the Gates Foundation and UAE, pledged $1.9 billion at a summit in Abu Dhabi to advance polio eradication, narrowing but not closing a $440 million funding gap for the Global Polio Eradication Initiative through 2029.
The effort aims to protect 370 million children annually from polio, with the U.S., Germany, and the UK reducing foreign aid, contributing to a projected 30% budget cut in 2026.
Despite progress, polio remains a threat in Afghanistan and Pakistan, with variant outbreaks in 18 countries.
The funds will support vaccination campaigns, surveillance, and health system strengthening in high-risk areas.
