Rotary Club Family Health Day

Rotary Club Family Health Day

“The Covid-19 pandemic not only put a halt to many events but has also affected so many lives. People have lost family members, friends and colleagues, and we also lost fellow Rotarians,” says Dr.Ferdi Marais of the Hermanus Rotary Club.

Although the club’s annual Family Health Day of 2020 could not be held in the usual way and had to be postponed until last week, Rotary used this opportunity to recognise the hard work of all our healthcare workers, nursing professionals, ancillary workers, NGOs and volunteers, many of whom also paid the highest price in their line of duty.

“The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared 2020 as the International Year of the Nurse. It was also the year that Florence Nightingale would have celebrated her 200th birthday,” says Ferdi.
