  Figure 1. acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance indicators in Guinea by region, 2012-2015: Non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NP-AFP) rate

• 

  Figure 2. acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance indicators in Liberia by county, 2012-2015: non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NP-AFP) rate; NOTE: NP-AFP rate is the number of non-polio AFP cases identified in population aged < 15 years per 100,000 population aged < 15 years

  Figure 4. acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance indicators in Guinea by region, 2012-2015: notification (Note 1: notification is the proportion of AFP cases that were reported to the health system within 7 days of paralysis onset; Note 2: cases with missing data were deducted from the numerators and denominators for the calculation of the “notification” indicator)

  Figure 5. acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance indicators in Guinea by region, 2012-2015: stool adequacy (Note 1: stool adequacy is the number of AFP cases that had 2 stools collected within 14 days from paralysis onset and judged to be in good condition upon arrival at the laboratory; Note 2: cases with missing data were deducted from the numerators and denominators for the calculation of the “stool adequacy” indicator)
