Ending polio: Rotary members have played a key role in bringing the world to the brink of polio eradication. Our efforts have not only ended polio in 122 countries but also created a system for tackling myriad other health priorities, such as Ebola.

3 Actions. 3 Minutes.
A world of difference.
Learn – Get informed and help make polio a subject of conversation in your community.
Share – Most people have heard of polio but few know that the disease still affects children around the world. You can help by spreading the word.
Donate – Every donation helps us obtain the vaccines, transport and materials needed in the fight against polio.
Please join us Tuesday night for Dr. Sahukhan’s update on Polio vaccinations and monitoring in Fiji.

Community Mosquito Release Saturday 20th October at 10AM, 5 Ma’afu Street, IUCN Regional Office
Wolbachia-carrying mosquito egg capsules will be distributed. Wolbachia is a safe and natural bacteria that reduces the ability of mosquitoes to transmit dengue, chikungunya, and Zika between people. The Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes will breed with wild mosquitoes in the area, helping to establish Wolbachia in the local mosquito population.
