LEGACY PLANNING
The three principles of polio legacy are:
• Mainstreaming essential polio functions
(such as surveillance) to maintain a polio
free world
• Sharing knowledge and lessons learned
• Transitioning assests: people, physical
assets, etc., to other health priorities.
Legacy planning aims to ensure that investments made
to eradicate polio contribute to future health goals.
