Dear Polio Eradication Warriors,
No new Wild Polio cases reported this week. We are now 9 weeks since the Onset of Paralysis of the most recent reported Wild Polio Case - in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
Note - The 2023 Total Case Count numbers will not be final for a couple of months due to discovery and lab testing times.
Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair Barry Rassin announced at lat week's International Assembly that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation today transferred $100 million to our Polio eradication campaign. They matched 2-1 our $50 million raised by Rotary. We are so close to eradicating polio - let's keep working and raising the needed dollars. Congratulations to all Rotarians, Rotaractors and our partners.
