DISEASE ERADICATION - POLIO - A CASE STUDY

---

  Polio cases have been reduced by 99.9% worldwide since 1988. But continuing efforts to end the disease are critical to eradicating polio for good. ROTARY has helped immunized over 2.5 billion children in the world's most sophisticated global health initiative 

 Thanks to the polio vaccine, dedicated health care professionals, and parents who vaccinate their children on schedule, polio has been eliminated in Canada for more than 30 years. That does not mean that it has been eliminated around the world.

 A pictorial summary of how a disease can and is being eradicated. Of interest is story teller, Bill Gates. If you don`t know who he is check out the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

 Health care is about team work. It is never one person who makes a difference.  A vignette of a team approach that holds true in 2023.

 The story of what one young person did to fight the good fight....something she believed in .....possibly a caricature of  Greta Thunberg,   Who knows.....???
