Show full summary
  • Families and children: Would highlight the human impact of eradication efforts, citing CDC estimates that about 20 million people avoided paralysis and roughly 1.5 million deaths were averted thanks to GPEI work.
  • Global health systems and emergency response: Would recognize that GPEI built a global workforce and infrastructure that helped respond to crises like Ebola and COVID-19 and that it reaches children in fragile and conflict-affected areas, including Palestine.
  • U.S. policy and partners: Would praise partners such as Rotary International, which has contributed more than $2.8 billion, note regional milestones like the Americas being polio-free since 1994, and encourage continued international commitment and federal funding for eradication.
