> WHO figures show Guinea's polio vaccination coverage fell from 63 per cent to 42 per cent in 2014, as the Ebola outbreak caused chaos and overwhelmed an already weak national health system. In Mali, by contrast, polio vaccination coverage rose to 84 per cent in 2014, from 72 to 77 per cent in preceding years.

> The timing could be very bad given the post-Ebola state of extreme vulnerability in many of Guinea’s Resilience Capacity Zones. We have seen how polio eradication campaigns have been politicized in these kinds of environments to the detriment of health campaigns and the security of health workers. The presidential election period in Guinea could be quite challenging, if Haiti’s last presidential election post-Earthquake during its first wave of the cholera epidemic ends up being a bellwether.

Hopefully, political and religious network-generated rumors will not hamper the speed and quality of recovery operations in Health System Strengthening in its broadest rendering.
