End Polio Now
Rotary International's big effort to rid the world of this crippling disease started in 1985. We are so close to completing the job. Just one last push!
Polio is the shortened name of poliomyelitis, the crippling disease caused by the polio virus. One in 200 cases results in paralysis, which leads to the limbs of the victim becoming limp and disfigured. The paralysis is almost always irreversible. Historically, polio has been the world's greatest cause of disability.
The world has progressed from having 125 polio endemic countries to having three: Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. Regular immunisation activities in these countries, supported by Rotary members from Great Britain and Ireland and across the world, are having a positive impact, particularly in India where the last new case was recorded in January 2011. India was declared officially polio free in January 2014.
