The following message is from The End Polio Now Team:
Rotary will host a live-streamed global status update on the fight to end polio on Friday, October 24. Guests include Global Polio Eradication Initiative partners, celebrity ambassadors, polio survivors, and Rotary members. Watch the event live and join the conversation at: http://www.endpolio.org/worldpolioday
Today, the vast majority of the world is polio-free. Nearly 80% of all polio cases are concentrated in just one country: Pakistan. The other two remaining polio-endemic countries--Afghanistan and Nigeria--continue to show progress. Nigeria has decreased polio cases by 87 percent and Afghanistan has recorded only 10 cases of this devastating disease.
Wiping a disease from the face of the earth is not easy, and the final push is the most challenging. With your support and your voice, we can end polio now.
