Global Polio Eradication Program

Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal disease that can strike at any age but mainly affects children under five years of age.

The PolioPlus campaign was created by Rotary International with the aim of immunising all the world’s children against polio. In 1988, when the Global Polio Eradication Initiative began, the disease was endemic in more than 125 countries and more than 350,000 children were paralysed each year.
