Rotary responds to women's health needs.
In working to improve the health of women, particularly in developing countries, governments face a monumental challenge. Limited resources, insufficient training, and poor infrastructure are just some of the obstacles to advancements in the field of female medicine. It is a goal of Rotary International, a worldwide association of service-minded business and professional people, to facilitate efforts to bring medical care to women and girls and to help them to build all-around healthy lives. This article gives background on Rotary International and highlights some of the ways Rotarians are using their resources, their global network, and their professional expertise to advance and promote women's health.
