ROTARY MOMENT:

Arrticle by Andre Picard, Toronto Globe and mail. June 12, 2017:

Canada pledges $75-million (U.S.) as world aims to eradicate polio

The public health world is gearing up, once again, for a final push to eradicate polio and, with only five cases recorded in the world so far this year, that elusive goal seems tantalizingly within reach.

On Monday, representatives of charitable groups and governments gathered at the Rotary convention in Atlanta and pledged an additional $1.2-billion (U.S.) over three years to fund the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which aims to eradicate the childhood disease by 2020. That is just shy of the $500-million needed annually for the global vaccination program.

The biggest contributor is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which pledged $450-million; Rotary International, the service club that has made ridding the world of polio its mission, will contribute $150-million, Nigeria $140-million, Pakistan (via the Islamic Development Bank) $100-million, Canada $75-million, and a host of other donors. (All figures in U.S. Dollars.)

Paul Martin: Time to finish the job of eradicating polio

“Polio is very difficult disease, but with the generosity of donors we’ll have the resources to get this done,” Bill Gates said in an interview.

He said that the polio eradication campaign “suffered a lot of setbacks in the early 2000s but we really upped our game so I’m optimistic.”

Bob Scott, a Rotarian and head of the Polio Eradication Task Force, said the pledges are crucial because “they show the world we’re still fully committed to this effort.”

Dr Scott said that he is encouraged by the fact that, after 29 years, there is still no donor fatigue but, rather, a renewed sense of purpose. Rotary Club members are not only formidable fundraisers – having raised $1.4-billion and counting for the polio campaign – they are the backbone of an army of vaccination volunteers.

Both Mr. Gates and Mr. Scott praised Canada as one of the most steadfast supporters of the campaign, having donated more than $600-million since 2000

.Marie-Claude Bibeau, the Minister of International Development and La Francophonie, said while polio was eliminated in Canada decades ago, “diseases know no borders and we’re committed to seeing this through to the end.”

Ms. Bibeau said the “investments in polio do more than combat polio, they reinforce health systems and allow countries to be better prepared for new threats like Ebola.”

In 1988, there were more than 350,000 polio cases in more than 125 polio endemic countries. In 2016, there were only 37 cases and three endemic countries: Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria. India, long the epicentre of polio, was declared polio-free in 2011, a milestone that reinvigorated the eradication campaign.

Polio mainly affects children under the age of five and can cause irreversible paralysis. Among those paralyzed, 5 to 10 per cent die when their muscles become immobilized.

Mr. Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft who has committed much of his fortune and his personal time to global health issues, said polio, like most infectious diseases, thrives where there is unrest, so nothing can be taken for granted. But he said the notion of abandoning the eradication quest was unthinkable at this point.

“Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria are tough. They all pose unique challenges,” Mr. Gates said.

He said the big change in recent years is that “we’ve gotten a lot better at looking for polio and preventing cases.” For example, in Pakistan, there is now regular monitoring of sewage effluent and, when polio viruses show up, there is a redoubling of vaccination efforts.

The biggest impediment to vaccination is attacks on vaccinators by the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and by Boko Haram in Nigeria.

Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organization, said eradicating polio “will be a perpetual gift to coming generations,” because it will allow public health resources to be shifted elsewhere.

To date, only one other disease, smallpox, has been eradicated in humans. (Rinderpest has been eradicated in livestock.) Six human diseases other than polio have been declared eradicable: guinea worm, lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis), measles, mumps, rubella, and pork tapeworm.

We are truly "THIS" close . Only 5 cases have been identified this current year; the fight must go on, as countries must be clear for three years before declared permanently disease free and children need to receive more than one vaccination.

GUEST SPEAKER:
Linda Porritt introduced our speaker, Michelle Marshall. Michelle has been CEO of Participation House, Durham Region for the past fourteen years. Participation House provides services for people with Developmental Disabilities, mental, emotional and physical. She has participated in policy development throughout the province.

Participation House is a non profit organization and has seen NO budget increase for the past nine years!! The waiting lists are growing, more than 20,000 across the province. Michelle and her staff are constantly trying to find inovative ways to provide needed services by using funds differently. The organization provides for group living/housing including respite care. Creating partnerships with other Community groups such as ourselves is key to being able to continue to meet the needs within Durham Region. In November 2016, Participation House Durham Region received a four year accreditation.

Michelle provided information pamphlets and booklets for those wishing to learn more.

Sandy McDowell thanked Michelle Marshall and Melanie Powell.
