Rotarians for Family
Health & AIDS Prevention (RFHA) is a global Rotarian
Action Group and mobilizing partner of Rotary
International. RFHA creates the design, obtains the
resources and has overall management responsibility for
a Rotary-led disease prevention program, such as Rotary
Family Health Days. It is the convener of the program
that initiates the partnerships with in-country
governments, the U.S. Mission, private sector companies,
national media partners and links them to the vast
community-based network of Rotary members to implement
the program.
Rotary Family Health Days is the Signature Program of
Rotarians For Family Health & AIDS Prevention. This
program promotes healthy living and disease prevention
by implementing an annual massive campaign that provides
comprehensive, free health care services to the people
in the communities. The services include lifelong
immunizations to children, such as polio and measles
vaccines, and comprehensive live saving annual screens
such as HIV, TB, Diabetes, Hypertension, Malaria, and
more. It is Rotary-led, and sponsored by The Coca-Cola
Africa Foundation, the South African Department of
Health, the CDC, USAID, and the SABC and Caxton as
primary media partners.
