The accomplishments of Indian team of doctors on the India-Nigeria Rotary Polio Surgeries Mission has received tremendous media attention in India, Nigeria and world-wide.
Nigerian National Television Authority had been regularly airing the progress of the Indian team of doctors as they operated upon polio-stricken children. The print media continued to update their readers about the progress of the mission.
The impact of this work is tremendous in two counts; one, that the lives of 353 children have been changed drastically. For they would at least be able to stand up with pride though with the help of calipers. And two, the parents of these children have become the brand ambassadors for all those polio-endemic states in Nigeria where polio vaccine has been resisted, to persuade other families to keep their children protected against wild polio virus through immunisation.
