In order to reach the shared aim of eradication, Tedros stated at the time that "Dr. Ilesh Jani led SAGE's work on typhoid and especially the polio vaccine, provided numerous strategic policy recommendations."

Ilesh Jani has been a SAGE member since October 2015 and has a total of two terms under his belt.

SAGE has a total of 15 members.
