Bihar on the verge or eradicating Polio.

In the last 15 months (i.e. September 2010 to December 2011), no cases of polio has been reported in Bihar which is a good sign that more and more people are getting  better health facilities. There are still about 0.5% kids who are not getting covered by the Pulse polio program and the health department is planning more focus to cover all these children too.
A good achievement.
