Polio eradication shifts
into emergency mode
Rotary International News -- 25 May 2012
Despite
the dramatic drop in polio cases in the last year, the threat of continued
transmission due to funding and immunization gaps has driven the Global Polio
Eradication Initiative (GPEI) to launch the Global
Polio Emergency Action Plan 2012-13.
The plan
aims to boost vaccination coverage in the three remaining polio-endemic
countries -- Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan -- to levels needed to stop
polio transmission. Health ministers meeting at the World Health Assembly in
Geneva adopted a resolution on 25 May that declared “the completion of polio
eradication to be a programmatic emergency for global public health.”
Polio
eradication activities have resulted in several landmark successes since 2010.
India, long regarded as the nation facing the greatest challenges to
eradication, was removed from the list of polio-endemic countries by the World
Health Organization (WHO) in February. Outbreaks in previously polio-free
countries were nearly all stopped.
During
that same time span, however, polio outbreaks in China and West Africa due to
importation from Pakistan and Nigeria, respectively, have highlighted the
continued threat of resurgence. Failure to eradicate the disease could lead
within a decade to paralysis of as many as 200,000 children per year worldwide.

On a lighter note
MAGIC
A well-off
bloke decided to go into business for himself. He fancied owning a pub, so he
searched until he found one for sale in a small village.
Unfortunately,
the pub was very old and the foundation was crooked. It would cost too much to
fix. So the new owner decided to knock it down and build a new one.
He hired a
bulldozer and cleared all the debris. Then he spent a lot of time hauling in
dirt, building it up and leveling it for the new foundation.
Some
village folks were out watching him work. "What is that bloke doing?"
asked a passerby. A villager replied,

According to the Knight-Ridder News Service, the inscription on the metal bands used by the U.S. Department of the Interior to tag migratory birds has been changed.
The bands used to bear the address of the Washington Biological Survey, abbreviated, "Wash. Biol. Surv." until the agency received the following letter from an Arkansas camper:
"Dear Sirs: While camping last week I shot one of your birds. I think it was a crow. I followed the cooking instructions on the leg tag and I want to tell you it was horrible."
In whatever part of the world, rotary has never fail to enrich people's lives. Here in Subiaco Perth, we also never fail to do our best contribute in any way the aims and goals of the rotary in our little ways, "make the world a better place".
