The College of Medicine organized an awareness campaign to mark **World Polio Day**, aiming to highlight the importance of preventing this disease, explain ways to limit its spread, and raise community awareness of the vital role of vaccines in protecting children.
The campaign included educational information about polio, its modes of transmission, and the importance of adhering to the routine immunization schedule and additional vaccine doses recommended by the relevant health authorities, given the essential role of immunization in preventing the disease and protecting children's health.
The campaign emphasized the importance of concerted efforts among healthcare institutions, academic institutions, and community members to support vaccination programs and strengthen social responsibility in protecting future generations from vaccine-preventable diseases.
This initiative is part of the scientific and awareness-raising activities that the College of Medicine is committed to organizing, reflecting its mission to serve the community, promote health awareness, and contribute to national and global efforts aimed at eradicating polio.
