NEW DELHI: A dedicated woman health worker from rural Bihar has bagged a global UN award for her commitment and dedication in eradicating polio in India.

The UN has conferred the 'UN Frontline Workers Global Leadership Award' on Martha Dodray, an Auxiliary Nurse and Midwife (ANM) from Darbhanga district of Bihar.

She represented the worldwide polio frontline workers, whose contribution to the cause of global health has been recognized and awarded by the United Nations Foundation this year.

Martha, who travels several kilometres a day under tough conditions in one of the most backward rural hinterlands of Bihar to administer polio drops to children in the area, has been working day and night to ensure that polio is eradicated.

India has remained polio-free for almost three years now and will get a polio-free status in January next year if no fresh case of polio virus is detected.
