Combating diseases together HEILIE COMBRINCK
A
n estimated 350 000 citizens attended the Rotary Family Health Day programme, a Pan-African health campaign which will be rolled out across Southern Africa during April. Uitenhage had the honour of hosting the national launch of the South African programme at KwaNobuhle LoveLife Centre. “Rotary is the oldest and largest civic organisation in the world and our motto is ‘Service Above Self’. “We (Rotarians) have always believed in disease prevention, beginning with our fight to eradicate polio,” said Marion Bunch, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Rotary Family Health Day. Bunch, who hails from Georgia in the USA, was asked during 2002 by Rotary International President, Bhichai Rattakul, to assist in creating a programme for the orphans and vulnerable children in Africa. Two years later, the Rotary Board of Directors approved
her application of mobilizing Rotarians, partners and communities into implementing the Rotary Family Health Day disease prevention programme. “It as been clear since the outset that Rotarians could provide only one part of the answer for this massive event - that is, building, managing and volunteering at the 145 sites across South Africa. Therefore we established a unique public/private partnership whereby each partner has a critical and defined role and set of responsibilities which is why this partnership works!” About 4 000 Rotarians in South Africa, together with pro bono medical and technical support provided by the National Department of Health, USAID and various other support partners like Media24 assisted in helping create this success programme. “The only way to combat disease and build a healthy nation of people is by working together. Each partner is highly valued and we sincerely thank you for working with Rotarians to make a difference in the lives of South Africans,” said Bunch.

An estimated 80 000 South African citizens were served at 145 sites during the three day programme. <The national launch of the Rotary Family Health Day was held at the KwaNobuhle LoveLife Centre last week Wednesday. The pro gramme offered free health care services at 145 sites across South Africa as well as in Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, Swaziland and Lesotho. Various partnerships supported this venture, with one being Media24.
