ABOUT THE END POLIO DRAW 2 CALL
Polio is a highly infectious disease that generally affects children under the age of five. Better known as poliovirus, the polio virus is spread from person to person, usually through contaminated water. The disease attacks the nervous system and, in some cases, causes paralysis. While there is no cure for the disease, we do have a safe and effective vaccine that Rotary and its partners have used to vaccinate 2.5 billion children around the world.
Why should we care about polio? Unless we eradicate polio, there could be as many as 200,000 cases a year worldwide within ten years. The disease is only endemic in two countries, but unless we vaccinate all children, none will be safe from the virus. Ending disease takes enormous effort, and neither Rotary nor its partners can do it alone.
END POLIO DRAW (EPD) is an international exhibition of graphic humor and caricature that began in 2020 as an initiative of the Rotary Club Cali San Fernando (Colombia) as part of its activities in the international campaign END POLIO NOW (Let's put an end to Polio) , where through these works by artists from around the world, they gave us their point of view of what the fight to eradicate polio is and has been, with the aim of making people aware of the disease and of the fight that has been fought against it, being also a means of support and diffusion of artists from all over the world.
END POLIO DRAW 2 CATEGORIES:
Fissionomic Cartoon: "Tribute to Dr. Carlos Canseco"
Dr. Carlos Canseco (Tampico, Mexico, March 17, 1921 - Monterrey, Mexico, January 14, 2009) was a prominent Mexican doctor recognized by the Pan American Health Organization as one of the eleven people who most influenced public health of the American continent during 20th century.
Canseco González was born on March 17, 1921 in Tampico, he died on January 14, 2009 in the City of Monterrey, Nuevo León. He graduated as a Midwifery Surgeon from the Autonomous University of Mexico (now UNAM) and later specialized in allergology at the Northwestern University of the United States (Northwestern University) and in clinical immunology at the University of Pittsburgh.
In 1949 he created the first chair of allergology at the University of Nuevo León (now UANL) and the following year he headed the board of trustees for the construction of the Children's Hospital in the state capital. In 1950 he founded the Monterrey Soccer Club together with several local businessmen and joined the Rotary Club, which he would end up presiding worldwide 34 years later and from which he would launch an international campaign to immunize all the world's children against polio. Two years earlier (1982) he had collaborated with Albert Sabin in the development of an aerosol vaccine against measles.
