India to be declared Polio Free on Monday 13th January 2014.

What a way to start the new year!
It's a victory for Indians. A victory for public health professionals. A victory for mankind.
I'm not indian but I like to celebrate things like this.
I'm sure it took a concerted effort by all the arms of government. They saw a problem, worked at it - over the years - and now it's over.

Overcoming Ignorance, illiteracy, a large population etc. they did it. ,

Congratulations, India.
