WHO Director-General addresses Regional Committee for Africa

Excellencies, honourable ministers, distinguished delegates, representatives of the African Union, Dr Moeti, ladies and gentlemen, I thank the government of the Republic of Chad for hosting this session. I thank the President of this country for his leadership and commitment to health. His role in mobilizing the military logistics that helped stop polio in the very challenging geography of Lake Chad was decisive. Chad has been polio-free for more than three years.
