Now on Flipboard: Latest on health, nutrition and population

Also available in: Español | Français | العربية

Nigeria has reason to celebrate. The country recently marked one year with no polio cases, bringing the world one step closer to eradicating a terrible disease that now circulates in only two remaining countries. To commemorate the global health milestone, Nigeria’s President Buhari gave his own three-month-old granddaughter a few drops of oral polio vaccine – a moment captured by a photographer and sent round the world via social media. It also sent a clear public health message: vaccination works.

This is one of the many stories you’ll see featured in our new digital magazine on health, nutrition and population, launched today through the popular news aggregation app, Flipboard. We’ll be updating the magazine regularly with our own feature stories, blog posts, data, videos, and photos, as well as stories and content from external partners and news sources covering global health.
