Rotarians globally engage in disease prevention and health promotion through various initiatives, such as community education and interventions to reduce both communicable and non-communicable diseases. They utilize Rotary Community Corps (RCCs) and Rotarian Action Groups (RAGs) to collaborate on health projects, including national health days for testing and vaccinations. The document outlines eligibility and scopes for global grants to support health-related studies and humanitarian projects.
