Hoy alcanzamos un importante hito en la lucha contra la polio en \u00c1frica ya que ha transcurrido un a\u00f1o completo sin un solo caso de polio causado por el poliovirus salvaje.<\/p>\n

Somalia registr\u00f3 el \u00faltimo caso el 11 de agosto de 2014. Si bien \u00e9ste es un important\u00edsimo hito en el campo de la salud, la batalla no ha concluido. Para acabar con la polio de una vez para siempre, todos los pa\u00edses, polioend\u00e9micos o no, deben reforzar sus campa\u00f1as de vacunaci\u00f3n, incrementar sus labores de vigilancia y hacer todo lo posible para llevar la vacuna hasta el \u00faltimo ni\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo podemos bajar los brazos. Debemos continuar las campa\u00f1as de vacunaci\u00f3n hasta que todos los pa\u00edses del mundo sean certificados como libres de polio\u201d, explica del Dr. Tunji Funsho, presidente del Comit\u00e9 Nacional de PolioPlus de Nigeria. \u201cMientras el virus est\u00e9 presente en alg\u00fan lugar del mundo, ning\u00fan pa\u00eds estar\u00e1 a salvo\u201d.<\/p>\n

Los rotarios han desempe\u00f1ado un papel fundamental en esta lucha recaudando fondos, realizando labores de incidencia pol\u00edtica ante sus gobiernos, sensibilizando al p\u00fablico y movilizando miles de voluntarios.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa labor de Rotary y los dem\u00e1s integrantes de la\u00a0Iniciativa Mundial para la Erradicaci\u00f3n de la Polio<\/a>\u00a0ha echado por tierra la idea de que \u00c1frica es un continente caracterizado por la pobreza, las enfermedades y los conflictos\u201d, comenta John Hewko, secretario general de RI. \u201cA pesar de haber tenido que superar m\u00faltiples obst\u00e1culos y de que muchas personas pensaban que esta enfermedad jam\u00e1s podr\u00eda ser erradicada de \u00c1frica, se ha podido alcanzar este importante avance en el campo del desarrollo humano\u201d.<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan Michal McGovern, presidente del Comit\u00e9 Internacional de PolioPlus, el mejor modo de garantizar que el hito que hoy alcanzamos realmente signifique el \u00faltimo caso de polio en \u00c1frica es mantener un decidido compromiso para con la erradicaci\u00f3n durante los pr\u00f3ximos a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

\u201cLos rotarios disponen de m\u00faltiples ocasiones para marcar la diferencia, y una de ellas es pasar a la historia gracias a la erradicaci\u00f3n de la polio”, concluye McGovern. \u201cNuestros socios han marcado el camino a seguir tanto captando fondos y sirviendo como voluntarios por la causa de la erradicaci\u00f3n\u201d.<\/p>\n

Vale mencionar que hasta el a\u00f1o 2018, la Fundaci\u00f3n Bill y Melinda Gates aportar\u00e1 dos d\u00f3lares por cada d\u00f3lar que Rotary dedique a la erradicaci\u00f3n de la polio (hasta un m\u00e1ximo de US$ 35 millones anuales).<\/p>\n
