The World Health Organization's (WHO) regional certification commission for the Eastern Mediterranean has accepted Libya's revised annual report for 2025 on maintaining its polio-free status, according to the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).

The centre said the commission confirmed its acceptance in an official letter dated 28 October 2026, after reviewing the revised report and determining that it had addressed concerns raised about the previous version.

The commission also expressed its intention to meet Libya's national certification committee in 2027 to review the country's 2026 annual update and discuss other matters related to polio eradication.

In January 2026, the NCDC announced that Libya had received WHO certification confirming its freedom from all three types of poliovirus.
