In the intervenning period a special conference dedicated to the furthurance of good relations amongst South Asian countries was held in 1982. The current Asia Regional Conference will draw visitors from all the Asian Countries and will go a long way in furthering amity and goodwill in this part of the world. Rotary has taken up a global programme in which it has committed itself and its resources to the eradication of vaccine-preventable deseases. This programme is caled "POLIOPLUS". In this programme Rotary has undertaken to provide oral polio vaccine for any nationally approved Immunisation programmes for a period of five consecutive years. Using the Polio vaccine as a "Spearhead", Rotary is encouraging Governments to take up the task of eradicating the other deseases such as Diptheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Measles and Tuberculosis covered under the POLIOPLUS Programme. Through this gigantic task, estimated to involve an outlay equivalent to US Dollars 120 million in the purchase of oral polio vaccine alone.
