Three years ago, on January 13th, Rukhsar Khatun, then 15 months old, was diagnosed with polio. She now has a crippled leg and struggles to keep up with her friends. But this little girl, from a West Bengali village, can claim some fame: she is, with luck, the last Indian to be infected with the wild polio virus. Enough time has passed with no new case for India shortly to be certified as free of the pain.
That is a big success. India’s anti-polio campaign began in 1995 with severe disadvantages. The country spends little on public health, barely 1% of GDP, and has been awful at immunising children. Too few parents know the basics of hygiene and nutrition, let alone the benefits of vaccines. India has bad sanitation, large remote populations and vast migration from village to slum.
Yet much has gone right. The anti-polio campaign received over $3 billion, mostly from within India itself, and deployed 2.4m vaccinators. UNICEF, the World Health Organisation (WHO), Rotary International and the Gates Foundation (both charities) gave technical help. Religious leaders reassured people suspicious about vaccinations, and politicians knocked on doors to make sure children took their medicine.
At the peak of coverage, 99.1% of the target population swallowed anti-polio drops, says Anuradha Gupta of the national health ministry. That is surprisingly high, considering that a decade ago "universal" vaccination coverage for seven preventable diseases was a pitiful 30% in Bihar, a big, poor northern state.
India’s campaign has been successful enough for its lessons to be applied in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria, the last places with endemic polio. Vaccinators learned to attend especially to mobile populations, like seasonal workers at brick kilns, and found that many migrants are best reached not at home but in bus and railway stations.
Good monitoring was crucial, too. In Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, vaccinators visited 60m households several times a year, says Hamid Jafari of the WHO. To compile data on receivers, some 400,000 hard-to-reach population groups were carefully tracked and plotted, down to each household. Data passed early to decision-makers, at the district-official level, allowed a quick response to new cases.
Which one is NOT a piece of good news for anti-polio campaign?
选项
A、Many international organizations offer help.
B、A large amount of money has been received.
C、Officers ensure that medicine has been taken.
D、Most people remain suspicious about vaccinations.
答案
D
解析
选项A与第三段第三行的“…(charities)gave technical help”内容相符,故正确。选项B对应第一行:The anti-polio campaign received over $3 billion.故正确。选项C对应最后一句后半句:politicians knocked on doors to make sure children took their medicine.(政客们挨家敲门,确保儿童服用药物。)由此可见该项表述也正确。选项D对应最后一句前半句:Religious leaders reassured people suspicious about vaccinations.(宗教领袖消除怀疑接种疫苗者的疑虑。)而该项却说:Most people remain suspicious about vaccinations.(大多数人对接种疫苗表示怀疑。)两者表述显然不一致,而且该项的描述对于“anti—polio campaign(反小儿麻痹症运动)”来讲也不是一个好消息,故答案为选项D。
