The legacy of polio eradication won't just be in the elimination of polio - it will also be in how the lessons learned, the technologies created, and the infrastructures built are used to support other public health and immunization initiatives. #EndPolio https://t.co/cPOPNFYEjb
As @JenJonesRotary wraps up her presidency, it isn't easy to express the depth of our gratitude for her support of our mission to #EndPolio. Her efforts to support AND highlight @PakFightsPolio female healthcare workers have moved many and pushed us closer to the finish line.

“We can be a part of history and finally eradicate polio, but we won’t get there without one quality: Persistence.”

On behalf of the children of the world, it was truly gratifying to hear the voices of so many of the world’s health leaders echo one message at the #WHA76 today: We MUST seize this moment to #EndPolio once and for all. https://t.co/dCuZBg0QQS
Dr. Abdul Rahman Ghafoori spent 22 years as a polio eradicator in Afghanistan before retiring in 2022. He knows just how much has been accomplished already to #EndPolio and he still has hope that a polio-free Afghanistan is within reach. https://t.co/caEOvquPDA
