Rotary Fighting Disease
By Herbert K. Lau
Rotary's top priority is the eradication of polio, but our mem-bers take on far greater responsibilities to fight disease. They set up health camps and training facilities in undeveloped coun-tries and in communities struggling with HIV/AIDS and malaria. They also design and build the infrastructure for doctors, nur-ses, governments, and partners to reach the one in six people in the world who can't afford to pay for health care. Disease prevention and treatment takes on many forms, from suppor-ting studies to helping immunize people to improving drinking water and the sanitation infrastructure. The world relies on Rotary to tackle these global challenges, and to set an example for others to follow.
70 years ago in the city of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, Chengtu Rotary Club (成都扶輪社) had already exemplified Rotary action on disease prevention on anti-Tuberculosis cam-paign. See the attached news clipping from a local newspaper in May 1945. And also remember that at that time a war was still raging in China, yet these Rotarians did find time and resources to engage in this kind of work.(the newspaper reprinted below article announces an Anti-TB week in three counties in Chengdu under Rotarian leadership, focusing on ordinary citizens. It details the meeting proceedings and actions to be taken as well as who will be involved and where the funds will come from)
An ‘extremely credible source’ has called me and
confirmed that the food at the Swinging 60s party will be
even better than at my inauguration. Pathetic.
