Polio programme personnel operate in the world's most fragile and difficult-to-reach settings. This makes them uniquely positioned to strengthen #childhealth. At #WHA79, practitioners and global health leaders, including polio champion and Rotarian @RAMESHFERRIS, discussed the wider impact of the #EndPolio effort, including how the programme's infrastructure and reach can be leveraged for other health priorities. Thanks to @unfoundation, @UNICEF and @ifrc for organizing this insightful discussion.
An unprecedented number of families are now living in fragile settings. At #WHA79, global health leaders, practitioners, and policymakers came together to share innovative ways to deliver care to the most vulnerable mothers and children. bit.ly/4gaNnzW

Who knew raising funds for #EndPolio could be both educational and entertaining? Winchester Rotary Club held a lively fundraiser in June that included discussions with experts on modern public health threats and personal stories from polio survivors. 🔗: endpol.io/3Qv0Fg2

No cars. Just community. During a car-free Sunday in Kigali, Rwanda, nearly 2,000 Rotary and Rotaract members filled the streets in bright red shirts for a Walk Against Polio. Together, they turned a citywide day of fitness and environmental awareness into a moment for public education, visibility, and action toward a polio-free world.

Reaching every child in South KP is critical to achieving a polio-free Pakistan. 🙌 A four-day South KP Review and Planning Workshop (June 9–12, 2026) is being held in Islamabad under the leadership of Ms. Ayesha Raza Farooq, Prime Minister’s Focal Person on Polio Eradication, alongside Muhammad Anwarul Haq, National Coordinator NEOC, Shafiullah Khan, Provincial Coordinator KP and Technical programme leadership. The workshop has brought together key stakeholders to review progress, challenges, and strategic priorities for polio eradication efforts across the region. Discussions are focused on the epidemiological situation, campaign quality, surveillance performance, access-related challenges, and communication interventions in high-risk and access-constrained areas. The workshop is aimed at developing division, district, and UC-specific action plans for July–December 2026, with clear priorities, responsibilities, timelines, and accountability measures. The session reaffirms the collective commitment to reaching every child and strengthening coordinated efforts toward a polio-free Pakistan. #PolioFreePakistan #EndPolioNow

From 1,000 kids paralyzed every day in the 1980s, polio cases have declined by 99.9%. But we can’t stop here. We need to reaffirm our commitment, make sure life-saving vaccines reach the last mile, and finally make polio a disease of the past. #WorldImmunizationWeek
