Countdown to History
In 1985, Rotary launched the PolioPlus program to protect children worldwide from the devastating effects of polio.
In 1988, the World Health Assembly challenged the world to eradicate polio.
Since then, Rotary and its partners — including the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and governments around the world — have achieved a 99% reduction in polio cases worldwide.
Rotarians now stand on the brink of a historic achievement: the complete global eradication of polio.
Together, we can finish the fight.
END POLIO NOW.
