ROTARY AND POLIO
Rotary International began its fight against polio with a multi-year project to immunize 6 million children in the Philippines.
In 1985, Rotary International launched PolioPlus, the first and largest internationally coordinated private-sector support of a public health initiative, with an initial fundraising target of US$120 million.
Rotary International and the World Health Organization launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988. At that time there were an estimated 350,000 cases of polio in 125 countries.
1994: the Americas were declared polio-free.
1995: Health workers and volunteers immunized 165 million children in China and India in 1 week.
2000: the Western Pacific region, spanning from Australia to China, was declared polio-free.
By 2003 only six countries remained polio-endemic, four in 2006, and three in 2012.
In 2014 the World Health Organization certified the South-East Asia region polio-free.
And in 2020 Africa was declared polio-free.
Today there are only two countries where polio is endemic: Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Along with our partners, we have helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children against polio in 122 countries.
We have reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent worldwide and we won't stop until we end the disease for good.
