The Impact of Jonas Salk
Показать описание
"The Impact of Jonas Salk"-- a night dedicated to celebrating the imminent end of one of the most feared diseases in history, sponsored by Spencer Trask in collaboration with BeyondPolio. Watch Dr. Charlotte Jacobs, author of the definitive biography of Jonas Salk, "Jonas Salk: A Life," and Spencer Trask & Co. Chairman Kevin Kimberlin discuss Salk's never-ending quest to eradicate polio.
By December 2015, every nation in the world will be using, or has committed to use the Salk vaccine to eliminate polio. Jonas Salk’s vaccine will finish off polio. When completed, no mother will ever worry, no child will ever suffer, from what was once this most feared, crippling and often fatal disease. The World Health Organization's announcement of the polio end-game is a major vindication for Dr. Salk….and a major win for global health.
It is our hope that lessons from this humanitarian victory might apply to solving other difficult challenges ahead.
