> Dear Michael,
>
> Last summer, two children in Western Ukraine – right on Europe’s doorstep – were diagnosed with polio. The CSIS Global Health Policy Center has released an unusual and compelling new analysis, Polio in Ukraine: Crisis, Challenge, and Opportunity <http://smartglobalhealth.org/page/m/c78054c/3548c6d9/44c885/26144f70/1571589999/VEsH/>, highlighting the factors contributing to this outbreak and the nature of the continuing threat. Authored by Judy Twigg, professor of political science at Virginia Commonwealth University and senior associate with the CSIS Russia and Eurasia Program, the report calls for the global health community to ratchet up its diligence and intensity in response to immunity gaps across Central and Eastern Europe.
