Strengthening Immunity to Create a Polio-Free Future

Malnutrition: The Hidden Barrier to Polio Eradication

Malnutrition and polio are two interconnected public health crises that demand immediate attention. According to a recent article by The News InternationalPast Rotary International President Barry Rassin and Rotary Foundation Chair Past President Mark Daniel Maloney emphasized the critical role malnutrition plays in hindering the fight against polio.

“Malnutrition is a barrier to polio eradication,” said Past President Maloney. “To achieve a polio-free world, we must address the nutritional needs of children, as their weakened immune systems make them more vulnerable to the virus.”

At the Trust for Malnutrition and Stunted Growth (TMSG), we are already working to integrate nutrition with vaccination programs to strengthen immunity and protect children from preventable diseases. By providing therapeutic foods and empowering clinics across Pakistan, we aim to combat malnutrition and enhance the effectiveness of vaccines.

Our partnership with organizations like UNICEF Pakistan is a testament to our commitment to tackling these intertwined challenges. Together, we can create a healthier future for Pakistan’s children and move closer to eradicating polio once and for all.

Join us in the fight against malnutrition and polio. Your support can make a lasting difference.
