Your Excellency,
World Polio Day
24 October 2022, Copenhagen, Denmark
On behalf of the WHO European Region (WHO/Europe), I have the honour of inviting you to attend a
commemorative event for World Polio Day on 24 October 2022.
The European Regional Commission for Certification of Poliomyelitis Eradication (RCC) declared the
WHO European Region polio-free for the first time on 21 June 2002. This achievement was
announced and celebrated on that day in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The RCC’s 36th meeting will take place in October 2022 and is expected to conclude that the Region
has now sustained its polio-free status for 20 years (covering the period 1991–2021). To mark this
historic achievement, WHO/Europe will host a commemorative event on 24 October 2022, World
Polio Day, in the UN City building in Copenhagen. Doors to the venue will open at 16:30 CEST, and
the programme, including reception, will conclude at 19:00.
We would be honoured if you could attend this event, which will bring together representatives of the
Global Polio Eradication Initiative, current and past members of the RCC, and other partners to
discuss progress and the challenges ahead.
Please could you send your response to
[email protected] (kindly by 10 October). I look forward to
welcoming you to this event.
Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration,
Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge
Regional Director
