Polio Awareness Matters – Let’s Protect Our Communities 💙
Hands of Mercy recently participated in a Ministry of Health Zambia briefing on the ongoing Polio Campaign, represented by Ms. Victoria Mupinde - Director Operations
Polio is a serious and highly infectious disease that can cause paralysis and even death. It spreads easily, especially in areas with poor sanitation and low vaccination coverage. With an outbreak currently in Zambia, we all have a role to play.
Here’s how we can all help:
✔️ Ensure children receive routine immunisation
✔️ Practice good hygiene at home and in public spaces
✔️ Encourage caregivers and parents to vaccinate children
✔️ Share accurate information within your community
📅 National Polio Campaign: 7th – 10th April
Let’s work together to protect our children, support our families, and keep our communities safe.
