THIS REGISTRATION IS FOR IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE ONLY (REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED FOR VIRTUAL PARTICIPATION)

The objective of this “World Polio Day 2022 and Beyond” event is to focus on the “beyond” highlighting the added value of building on the investments already made in polio eradication and by its extension the immunization agenda. These investments have supported the work force to not only vaccinate but also strengthen the capacity to track suspect cases, diagnose them with additional investments in laboratories, and to monitor overall programmatic performance towards its goal.

Going “beyond” while building on current investments will allow us to ensure that those children that have been saved from polio and together with their mothers from other vaccine preventable diseases will be able to benefit from other related preventive and life-saving services that will enable mothers to have a positive experience of their pregnancy and young children to achieve their full developmental potential.

                                        ----------------

Please note that due to room capacity limitations, registration is capped on a "first-come/first-served" basis. If, therefore, the registration button is no longer available on this site, this means that maximum in-person capacity has been reached. However, all proceedings can be followed virtually (without prior registration) on the following site : World Polio Day 2022 and Beyond: A healthier future for mothers and children (who.int) 

 

 

                                               ------------------

Please note that registration is a several-step process: the ‘register’ button on this site will take you through the process, step by step:

  • 1st step: if not done yet, create your account in the UN-Indico system and log in (right top corner of this page). Guidance: pdf  video;

You can collect the access badge only if your registration was approved in INDICO, 24 hours in advance.
