We are delighted to welcome Dr. Mark Townsend and Cate Whitewood MSc. for an inspiring evening as they share their recent experiences immunising children in Pakistan as part of Rotary&#39;s End Polio Now campaign. Working alongside the Government of Pakistan, the World Health Organization, and dedicated local health teams, they witnessed first-hand the extraordinary efforts being made to eradicate this devastating disease. Pakistan remains one of only two countries in the world where polio is still endemic. Dr. Mark and Cate, together with other members of Rotary District 1200, joined frontline workers in the global fight against polio. Their experiences offer a powerful insight into the challenges, hope, and determination behind Rotary&#39;s mission to eradicate polio worldwide. Their presentation will highlight the life-changing impact of vaccination, the courage of those delivering it, and how Rotary clubs like ours play a vital role in supporting this historic global effort. It&#39;s a chance to hear first-hand how Rotary continues to make a difference where it matters most.
