 Disease results in misery, pain, and poverty for millions of people worldwide. That\u2019s why treating and preventing disease is so important to us. Rotarians lead efforts both large and small. We set up temporary clinics, blood donation centres, and training facilities in underserved communities struggling with outbreaks and health care access. We design and build infrastructure that allows doctors, patients, and governments to work together. We also combat diseases like malaria, HIV\/AIDS, Alzheimer\u2019s, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and polio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Prevention is also important, we also focus on health education and bringing people routine hearing, vision, and dental care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
