  Gafo’s story: PNG’s first case of polio in a generation

Over the next two days, the pain got worse, even with his mother’s constant massaging.  After a series of tests, polio was confirmed as the cause of Gafo’s paralysis. Gafo’s parents understand that his paralysis has no cure, but they are determined to minimize his difficulty in moving with regular therapy from his new friend, Dr Winnie Sadua at Angau Memorial General Hospital. (...) Now with help from the Morobe Provincial Health Office and Angau Memorial General Hospital, Gafo receives regular check-ups and therapy. He still cannot run. But he has developed a unique gait, moving rapidly to keep up with his friends and his sister Sola.
