These programs ensure that people receive free critical health screenings, testing and where necessary, they are referred to doctors or medical facilities for additional assessment or care. This creates a vital link to care within communities that would otherwise not exist.
The RFHA Inc global headquarters is in Atlanta, Georgia (USA) and we are a registered Section 501(c)(3) Organization. A CEO and a board of 13 internationally-based directors govern our organisation.

Partners
A committed public/private partnership is the key to our success. Each partner has a defined role and set of responsibilities, which creates a culture of collaboration between the partners.

We have five types of program partners, Rotary International clubs and districts, Government, Private Sector, NGOs and Media Partners.
