Overview of health
challenges

Zambia faces a double disease burden. There is high prevalence of communicable diseases including HIV/ Aids, tuberculosis (TB), malaria, diarrhoea and intestinal worms as well as rising incidence rates of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cancer and chronic respiratory disease. Poor sanitation, malnutrition, lack of education and infrastructure are some of key factors that leads to a poor healthcare system.

History

Rotary Family Health Days were launched in Zambia on World Malaria Day in April 2022. Thousands of people received free preventive care and treatment. With a new partnership opportunity with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a plan is underway to roll out additional health days in this region soon.

Health Days Sites

Rotary Family Health Days sites are hosted by Rotary clubs in communities across the country. The sites are chosen in consultation with locally-based officials from the Departments of Health, community-based project partners and Rotary club members. 

The first Rotary Family Health days were held at 15 different site locations across Zambia. Details about the sites will be updated soon here.
