Polio Talks No6: PRIP Mark Maloney, Chair of The Rotary Foundation Trustees

In this episode of Polio Talks President Mark delivered an honest, compelling, and deeply strategic overview of the current state of our shared mission to end polio. He reminded us that we are now in one of the most difficult phases of this fight—facing changing geopolitical and economic conditions and a redefined global landscape. But he emphasized that it is precisely in this context that our continued dedication matters most. We heard updates on global vaccination efforts, including the successful campaign recently completed in Pakistan and ongoing work in Afghanistan, where vaccination is now conducted “street-to-street” with public points instead of door-to-door visits. These adaptations show that even in challenging environments, progress is possible. Mark also provided valuable insight into the current funding outlook for the End Polio Now program. He explained the ongoing dialogue with government entities in Washington and Geneva, the uncertain status of U.S. contributions for the upcoming fiscal year, and Rotary’s proactive efforts to safeguard support and maintain continuity.
