The World Health Organization today removed India, which has been polio-free for almost a year, from the list of polio endemic nations. Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad made the news during the polio summit 2012 in the presence of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The WHO endemic list included just three countries: Pakistan, Nigeria, and Afghanistan. After getting removed from the list, India will have to maintain polio-free status for the following two years through sustained efforts and an emergency preparation and response plan.
