==Post-Polio Health International==

Thank you for your note, and you are welcome, I am glad you found my changes to be helpful. The article looks good but it could use a bit more in the way of introduction. I think it would be beneficial to include a bit of information (a few sentences) summarizing what PHI does for polio survivors and post-polio sufferers. Also, thanks for including the reference on polio survivors in the US, I had only read the report by Frick and Bruno, but never happened across the actual data. I am compiling references on polio statistics in hopes that someday a more "international flavor" can be introduced into the History of poliomyelitis article, but reliable international data has been hard to come by. If you know of any references that include polio stats for Europe, Asia, ect... it would be quite helpful. Cheers--DO11.10 (talk) 19:31, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I have fixed up the introduction. Thanks. Posidonious 21:30, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
