eradication by working with partners in the Global Polio

public-private partnership led by national governments

Kudos to the foundation and the global community like the Rotary and the Global Poverty Project in their commitment to end polio. It is also important that governments cooperate with the initiative to 100 percent eradicate polio. 4rx
