We will hear, by way of video, from Gordon McInally (President of Rotary International 2023-24), Stephanie Urchick (President of Rotary International 2024-25), Jennifer Jones (President of Rotary International 2022-23), Michael McGovern (Chair of Rotary’s International PolioPlus Committee), and Valarie Wafer (Past Rotary International Vice-President and Director) as they talk about Rotary’s world-wide efforts to eradicate polio from the world. We will hear about experiences with polio from Durham Region resident and polio survivor Ajith Panagoda, interviewed by Ken Hurst (Past President, Rotary Club of Ajax) and Durham College International Student Hafsa Faisal. Dr. Bob Scott – (Past Vice President of Rotary International, Past Chair of the Trustees of The Rotary Foundation and Past Chair of the Rotary International PolioPlus Committee) will then update the world-wide audience about Rotary’s efforts to eradicate polio. Joining us for the LIVE panel discussion will be Dr Bob Scott, Barry Rassin (Past Rotary International President and current Chair of the Trustees of The Rotary Foundation), and Dr. Tunji Funsho (Chair Emeritus of Polio Plus in Nigeria) as they all discuss what Rotary is doing to eradicate polio, the challenges ahead, and what we can do to help. We will see proclamations indicating October 24 as World Polio Day, being presented to the 11 Rotary Clubs in Durham Region from Durham Regional Chair John Henry (a fellow Rotarian), thanking these local Rotary Clubs for their efforts to raise funds and create awareness about our efforts to eradicate polio from the face of the earth. We will also see End Polio Now Flags flying high over many of the cities in Durham Region, the municipality of 700,000, just east of Toronto. We will take as many questions as possible from our viewers and direct them to our LIVE panel members. We encourage our viewers to join the 100 guests who will be in the Rotary Global Classroom, as the Rotary Clubs of Oshawa and Oshawa-Parkwood partner with Durham College to present World Polio Day 2023 LIVE from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada and see for yourself how close we are to eradicating polio from this world. Background The world is on the verge of eliminating one of the most dreaded diseases of the 20th century -- poliomyelitis. During the first half of the 20th century, polio crippled over a half a million people every year. Even today, children in some developing countries continue to fall victim to the disease. But thanks in large part to Rotary International and to the 1.4 million Rotary members worldwide, including the Durham Region Rotary Clubs, the disease will soon be all but a memory. As World Polio Day draws closer, the world is 99.9 percent polio-free, but the fight to end polio is not over, and Rotary Clubs world-wide continue to raise funds to meet the challenge. When Rotary and its partners launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988, there were 350,000 cases of polio in 125 countries every year. We’ve made great progress against the disease since then. Today, polio cases have been reduced by 99.9 percent, to 7 cases so far this year – 2 in Pakistan, and 5 in Afghanistan. We remain committed to the end. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative, formed in 1988, is a public-private partnership that includes Rotary, the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and governments of the world. Rotary’s focus is advocacy, fundraising, volunteer recruitment and awareness-building. Since 1985, Rotary members world-wide have contributed nearly US$2.2 billion to help immunize nearly 3 billion children against polio, and we have helped secure billions of dollars from donor governments worldwide. Because of the efforts of Rotary and its partners, nearly 19.4 million people who would otherwise have been paralyzed are walking, and more than 1.5 million people are alive who would otherwise have died. Coinciding with World Polio Day, Rotary is ramping up its advocacy work in the 200 countries and regions where Rotary clubs exist, to encourage every national government to commit to the funding levels needed to close the gap. With polio nearly eradicated, Rotary and its partners must sustain this progress and continue to reach every child with the polio vaccine. Without full funding and political commitment, this paralyzing disease could return to polio-free countries, putting children everywhere at risk. Since 2020, and again during this Rotary year, Rotarians have been challenged to raise US$50 million each year to support global polio eradication efforts. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has again pledged to match that 2 for 1, for a yearly annual contribution of $150 million. Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial we continue to work to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.

World Polio Day – Rotary International Posted on October 15, 2018 at 4:38 pm. Learn about Rotary’s efforts to eradicate polio today and our plans to finish the job. The event will be attended by Rotarians from the 10 Rotary Clubs in Durham Region and many civic officials as they livestream the event from the new Global Classroom at Durham College to Durham College’s network of colleges worldwide and to Rotarians and the public, all over the world. Special guests from Pakistan will also be connected during the livestream (between 7:30 and 8:15 pm Eastern Time) where it will be 3:30 am on Thursday morning, during the keynote speech by Dr. Bob Scott, the immediate Past Chair of the Rotary International PolioPlus Committee worldwide. He will be updating the audience, in Oshawa and around the globe, on Rotary’s continuing effort to rid polio from every corner of the world. He will be connecting with Aseefa Bhutto Zardari, the first child in Pakistan to receive the oral polio vaccine, in 1994 as part of the country’s first National Immunization Day. Aseefa is a Rotary ambassador for polio eradication. Her mother, Benazir Bhutto, then prime minister, gave the drops to her daughter herself, a compelling endorsement of the nascent campaign. In 1988, at age 35, Assefa’s mother, Benazir Bhutto became the first woman elected to lead a Muslim country. She was assassinated in 2007, just months after she had returned to Pakistan after almost nine years in exile. But Aseefa Bhutto Zardari – whose father, Asif Ali Zardari, served as president of Pakistan from 2008 to 2013 – is carrying on her mother’s work. As a Rotary polio ambassador, she meets with officials, visits schools, and talks with families of health workers who were killed while working to vaccinate children. “We encourage Rotarians, their families, and the public to join us on October 24, 2018 starting at 5:45 pm , Eastern Time, by going to https://durhamcollege.ca/globalclass/classes/ and link in to the Class “World Polio Day – Rotary International”, Oshawa Past President Ron Dick added. During the World Polio Day event, we will be linking everyone at Durham College and everyone watching the livestream from Durham College to Rotary International’s sixth annual World Polio Day event. We’ll be streaming live , from the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, known as the birthplace of American medicine. It is one of the oldest professional medical organizations in the United States. Global health experts and Rotary’s celebrity polio ambassadors will discuss our remarkable progress toward a polio-free world. Patience Asiimwe, the protagonist of Rotary’s upcoming virtual reality film “Two Drops of Patience,” will introduce the movie. A sneak peek from Rotary’s documentary “Drop to Zero” will also be featured. Jeffrey Kluger, senior editor for Time magazine, will discuss his experience traveling to Nigeria with Rotary to report on polio eradication. And we’ll celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative”, Oshawa Past President Ron Dick added. Mayor Henry said, “I am so proud of my Rotary Club of Oshawa and also the Oshawa-Parkwood Rotary Club for their efforts in Rotary’s 33-year mission to eradicate the crippling childhood disease, polio”. Oshawa-Parkwood Rotary Past President David Andrews noted, “In many cities all over the world, October 24, 2018 has been proclaimed World Polio Day in honour of Rotary’s efforts to eradicate polio from the world. Rotarians will be gathering at city and town halls to acknowledge October 24 as World Polio Day, and to reconfirm our deep commitment to Eradicate Polio from the face of the earth.” The world is on the verge of eliminating one of the most dreaded diseases of the 20th century — poliomyelitis. During the first half of the 20th century, polio crippled over a half a million people every year. Even today, children in some developing countries continue to fall victim to the disease. But thanks in large part to Rotary International and to the 1.2 million Rotary members worldwide, including the 10 Durham Region Rotary Clubs , the disease will soon be all but a memory. As World Polio Day draws closer, the world is 99.9% polio-free, the fight to end polio is not over and Rotary Clubs world-wide continue to raise funds to meet the challenge. Since Rotary and its partners launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, 33 years ago, the incidence of polio has plummeted by more than 99.9 percent, from about 350,000 children paralyzed due to polio every year, and in all of 2018, only 19 have been confirmed as of October 14, 2018 – 15 in Afghanistan and 4 in Pakistan. Oshawa Rotary Past President Ron Dick said, “Since 1985, Rotary members world-wide have contributed nearly US$1.8 billion to help immunize more than 2.5 billion children against polio, and we have helped secure over US$ 7.2 billion from donor governments worldwide. Coinciding with World Polio Day, Rotary is ramping up its advocacy work in the 200 countries and regions where Rotary clubs exist to encourage every national government to commit to the funding levels needed to close the gap.” “Events like this are happening all over the world on October 24 and throughout this week. Right here in our own Rotary District, in southern Ontario, Canada, flag raising ceremonies will be held in Markham, Richmond Hill, and other towns and cities in southern Ontario. There will be a flag raising ceremony at City Hall in Toronto right in the heart of the city, the home to the 2018 Rotary International Convention at 11 am on October 24. In the evening, we will also be lighting up the CN Tower, The Toronto sign in Nathan Phillips Square in downtown Toronto, and even Niagara Falls in red, white, and yellow , the colours of Rotary’s End Polio Now campaign, to raise awareness to our cause and efforts in eradicating this disease,” he added. “We encourage everyone to join us, live, on October 24, 2018 starting at 5:45 pm to see what Rotary is doing to keep our promise to the children of the world – to eradicate polio” ,Oshawa Past President Ron Dick added.
