                  The Polio Problem
   Poliomyelitis (polio), a highly infectious
   disease, is triggered by a virus that invades
   the nervous system and can cause muscle
   paralysis and other serious health
   complications.




                                                                               1985                                           2008
                                                                           350,000 cases                                 < 1,500 cases
                                                                           125 countries                                  4 countries
   Polio mainly strikes children under five years of age.
   Once a world-wide health threat, the wild poliovirus
   is now endemic in only four countries: Afghanistan,
   India, Nigeria and Pakistan.

   Thanks to the
   development of the
   polio vaccine in the
   1950s, the disease is                                        Since Rotary began its PolioPlus programme, the number of polio cases world-wide has
   now preventable.                                             declined by more than 99 per cent, and the number of non-endemic countries has dropped
                                                                to four - Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Pakistan - the lowest in history.




   Today, Rotary International and its partners in the Global
   Polio Eradication Initiative - the World Health
   Organisation, UNICEF, and the US Centre for Disease
   Control and Prevention (CDC) - are immunising children
   world-wide to reach the goal of a polio-free world.
