Last fall our team spent time talking with philanthropies and other organizations with long histories of successful interventions in the field of global public health. Considering many ideas, we talked about what it will take to finally eradicate polio in the developing world, and the role that philanthropy can play. Many of our parents remember what it was like to have polio in this country, and a few people in the States still reside in iron lungs. These generations are advancing, and it's important that we not forget how horrible the crippling of polio can be to those who are at risk today."
