World Polio Day is a time for Rotary members, public health advocates, and all who want a world free from polio to come together, recognize our progress in the fight to end polio, and talk about the actions we need to take in order to end polio for good. It is good to remember that 20,500,000 children have been saved from the paralysis of polio as a result of this combined effort.
There are only two countries left in the world where polio is still endemic in the population, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Wild polio cases are still being reported there. Donations are the best way to end polio once and for all. Click HERE to learn more.
Glenn Garlick, district End Polio Now chair, will be speaking our club in November and will update us on the program.
