Ending Polio in Pakistan
Health workers at a polio-vaccine transit post in Antock, Punjab, Pakistan. The team aims to vaccinate children missed during routine immunization campaigns. 05 August 2019. Building on Rotary's work with the global health community and its GPEI partners, Rotary members in Pakistan build relationships with families that are focused on health care.
As part of their commitment to eradicate polio, Rotary clubs sponsor health camps, fund permanent immunizations centers, organize religious leaders to support vaccinations, and train female health workers who visit families regularly.
Because Rotary members live in the communities they serve, these relationships allow the work to continue amid the challenges of the campaign.
