“Rotary connects 1.2 million members of more than 34,000 Rotary Clubs in over 200 countries. The first flagship PolioPlus programme in 1985. Since 1988, the incidence of polio has plummeted by more than 99 per cent, from about 3.5 lakh cases a year to less than 370 in 2014. More than 2.5 billion children have been immunised in 122 countries, preventing five million cases of paralysis and 2.5 lakh deaths. Polio today remains endemic in only three countries -- Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan,” said Sambasiva Rao, former district governor of District 3150.
