December is Disease Prevention and Treatment Month
Medical Science has proven time and again when the
resources are provided, great progress in the treatment, cure,
and prevention of disease can occur. – Michael J. Fox
People died of starvation, lack of knowledge on cleanliness,
hygiene and healthcare on the old days. In most part of the
world, now, there is food, proper washing and hygiene, health-
care facilities with improved technology and healthcare
persons to diagnose and treat most illness to affect the quality
of life. Yet life threatening diseases such high blood pressure,
diabetes, cancer, coronary ailments, etc. especially in the well
of societies impact our desire to live long and better. Similarly,
diseases like dengue, malaria, cholera, ebola, etc. threaten the
lives of many in the neighbouring developing societies.
The role of Rotary is becoming increasingly important in the
prevention and treatment of diseases for creating healthy
communities. The month of December has been dedicated to
the cause of ‘Disease Prevention and Treatment’ to make the
Rotarians aware and undertake action oriented program in this
important area of ‘service to the society’ to keep our commu-
nities healthy in mind and body.
Rotary’s PolioPlus program is the world’s largest health related
program undertaken through private-public cooperation.
Initiated by Rotary International involving other international
and national organisations like WHO, CDC, national
governments and large number of volunteers, the fraternity of
over 1 million Rotarians has contributed significantly through
the Rotary Foundation to make the iconic program a success
by eradicating polio from the face of the world.
The Rotary Club of Dhaka, since founding, has been active in
undertaking projects and programs such as distribution of
healthy food and clean water kits during floods and cyclones,
blankets during winter help prevent diseases during and after
natural disasters. Club’s yearly Sleeping Kits Distribution (SKD)
program, jointly with SCAW of Canada, provide healthy living
conditions for the poor children. Other programs like eye and
dental camps for the poor and school children, cancer aware-
ness programs, distribution of wheel chairs and artificial limbs,
health kits for women created positive impact in the communi-
ties for ‘Disease Prevention and Treatment’ in keeping with the
Rotary theme of 2015-16 “Be a Gift to the World”.

Thank you for your commitment to creating positive, lasting change with a gift to The Rotary Foundation.
Your gift can make a world of difference.
