PolioPlus
PolioPlus is a global initiative launched by Rotary International in 1985 aimed at eradicating poliomyelitis, commonly known as polio. The program focuses on vaccinating children against the disease, which can cause paralysis and even death. Through partnerships with organizations like the World Health Organization and UNICEF, PolioPlus has helped immunize millions of children worldwide.
The initiative emphasizes the importance of community engagement and education to raise awareness about polio and the benefits of vaccination. As a result of these efforts, polio cases have significantly decreased, bringing the world closer to complete eradication of the disease.
