DISEASE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT GUIDELINES
FOR GLOBAL GRANT FUNDING
Rotary is dedicated to six areas of focus to build international relationships, improve lives, and create a better
world. Through global grants, awarded by The Rotary Foundation, clubs and districts participate in strategically
focused, high-impact activities in these areas.
All global grant activities are required to align with the goals of an area of focus. For disease prevention and
treatment, the goals are:
1. Improve the capacity of local health care professionals
2. Promote disease prevention programs, with the goal of limiting the spread of communicable diseases
and reducing the incidences of non-communicable diseases and their complications
3. Enhance local communities’ health infrastructure
4. Educate and mobilize communities to help prevent the spread of major diseases
5. Prevent physical disability resulting from disease or injury
6. Support studies for career-minded professionals related to disease prevention and treatment
