Eradicating Polio: A Good Investment
Although the global investment in a polio-free world exceeds $9 billion, an independent study published in the medical journal Vaccine estimates the net economic benefits to be $45 to $50 billion over the next 20 years. Of course, the return on eradicating a disease forever and preventing the suffering of countless children [and their families] is impossible to calculate.
(Quoting Rotary Foundation General Secretary John Hewko in The Rotarian).
