What happened
The UAE delivered polio vaccine doses to Pakistan and hosted a pledging event in Abu Dhabi in December 2025, which secured nearly $1.9 billion in international commitments. The UAE has provided $525 million in international support for polio eradication since 2011. Furthermore, the UAE Polio Vaccination Campaign has delivered over 850 million vaccine doses to Pakistan since 2014.

Why it matters
The UAE's support strengthens the Global Polio Eradication Initiative's operational capacity. The initiative's efforts are functionally dependent on the operational environment within Pakistan. This commitment highlights the UAE's ongoing role in global public health efforts.
The Global Polio Eradication Initiative, directed by WHO, is conducting operations and research relying on efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
