India has now been free of polio for more than 3 years and the South East Asian Region with 11 member states has begun the process of certifying polio-free status. This monumental task of interrupting the transmission of Wild Poliovirus (WPV) has been achieved in India. The last case of polio due to WPV was detected on 13 January 2011 in Howrah district of West Bengal.
