From India 🇮🇳 to Indonesia 🇮🇩, the South-East Asia region celebrates a decade of being wild polio-free! Congratulations to the health workers, governments, and partners who have kept polio out. Now let’s #EndPolio everywhere.
Eradicating polio in India seemed impossible... until it wasn't.
@Dr_HamidJafari of @WHOEMRO reflects on the incredible efforts that were made in India and provides hope that we can still #EndPolio worldwide, even when it may seem impossible: https://t.co/GG70hrL0jj
It's time to celebrate! On this day 10 years ago, the @WHOSEARO was certified wild polio-free 🎉
Rotary members, you played a critical role in making this milestone possible 🙏 Thank you for all you do! Together, we will #EndPolio for good.
👉 A day in the life of frontline health workers
📍Rotary Resource Center, Pakistan
From preparing coolers with vaccines to collecting & utilizing data to adjust the strategy of vaccination campaigns, these centers serve as a critical community hub in our efforts to #EndPolio.
Great discussion today w/ @Rotary on strengthening efforts for a #polio-free Africa.
Really appreciate @Rotary's dedication & contributions to #MakePolioHistory. We remain committed to working together to support countries protect every last child.
pediatrician. An imam. A traditional healer. The effort to #EndPolio in Afghanistan has many faces. Take a journey through the country as @WHOEMRO conducts its review of Afghanistan’s strong polio surveillance networks: https://t.co/Wlj5Ll35eU
Fantastic, meaningful conversations with President @JenJonesRotary today. Rotary’s spirit of service above self is an inspiration to people all over the world. Thank you @Rotary for your unparalleled contributions to #EndPolio
Privileged to join with and be inspired by dedicated female health workers in🇵🇰. They work hard to know their communities, building trust to #EndPolio and provide other critically needed health services.
The @WHO's @Dr_HamidJafari says that just yesterday, the insurgent militant group TTP (i.e. the Tehrik e Taliban, Pakistan) announced a historic ceasefire, which will help #Rotary and partners in efforts to #EndPolio. #Rotary22
The #polio team’s support for #COVID19 vaccination underlines their important role delivering broader health services to communities. Read about their efforts during 2021: https://t.co/YLSN9iGge9 #VaccinesWork#UHC#EndPolio
Our PolioPlus program integrates polio immunization work with efforts to address other community needs such as clean water. Learn how #endpolio supports water filtration in Pakistan, one of two remaining wild polio-endemic countries: https://t.co/J1mnhdQBkk
Good to see this important #polio prevention activity restarting in #Afghanistan. Unhindered access to reach all children with vaccinations is critical to #EndPolio and other vaccine preventable disease outbreaks.

Drawing from our partnership to #endpolio, #Rotary is proud to collaborate with @gavi, a co-leader of the @covax initiative, in support of greater vaccination access.
We look forward to working together on this critical issue! #VaccinesWork#OneWorldProtected
We have come so far against polio and there is a clear plan to get over the finish line. @Anne_W_Strike explains why @FCDOGovUK should continue its leadership on polio and restore its commitment to spend 0.7% of GNI. https://t.co/Nj8oHVzKvk #endpolio
The persistence of countless Rotarians gives me hope that we can achieve a polio-free world. As they close the #Rotary21 Convention, I'd like to thank @Rotary for the continued partnership to #endpolio. https://t.co/sZ4dRiuiXk
Polio incidence is down 99.9% thanks in large part to consistent commitment & investment of @G7 countries, collectively and individually. Renewed #G7 commitment protects progress to #EndPolio, and improves #GlobalHealthSecurity & #PandemicPreparedness.
♀️ Women play a critical role in navigating the social, cultural, economic, and religious contexts that influence vaccine trust. Their wisdom and commitment bring us closer to a polio-free world.
