Because family health is important
Rotary Family Health Days is a good example of a public-private partnership that benefits communities in need.
Witbank Rotary Club will be joining Rotary branches from around South Africa in the Rotary Family Health Days initiative.
The initiative is set to take place at over 110 sites across South Africa from October 12 to 14.
Witbank Rotary is aiming to host their Rotary Family Health Days at Klarinet and Hlalanikahle.
The Rotary Family Health Days will offer the following services for free, TB screening and testing, HIV counselling and testing, Vitamin A supplementation and healthy lifestyle information, immunisation (please remember to bring your child’s immunization card). Health screening (blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and others), educational material on Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C and more.
This is the fourth time that Rotary Family Health Days has brought free screening and health services to communities in South Africa. The National Department of Health provides logistics for the sites, with support from Rotary volunteers.
The aim is to reach 100 000 people. This year, there is a particular focus on adolescent girls and young women as part of the National Department of Health’s strategic plan. The campaign will fast track efforts to empower young people, especially adolescent girls and women.
