About us

A global family, united by ‘service above self.’

Who we are

The natural home of every healthcare professional — Rotarian and non-Rotarian.

Rotary Fellowships are international groups who share a common passion. Ours brings health professionals together across the world to make friends, share knowledge — and combine fellowship with action.

What we set out to do

Our aims

01

Encourage fellowship among healthcare professionals.

02

Take part in health programmes — volunteering, advising, training and sharing experience.

03

Keep members connected through visits, exchanges and online.

04

Recognise those who give exceptional service.

05

Collaborate with professional bodies and governmental and non-governmental agencies.

Governance

We set our own course

We have our own constitution, governance structure and decide our own activities. This Fellowship operates in compliance with Rotary International’s policies for Rotary Fellowships, but is not an agency of — or controlled by — Rotary International.

How we focus

Our subgroups

Members can put their energy where it matters most through two focused subgroups.

HOPS

Health Outcomes & Patient Safety

SASMES

Safe & Sustainable Medical Equipment Supply

Mission — Encourage and assist Rotarians to improve patient care by responding, in a safe and sustainable manner, to requests for new or repurposed medical devices that meet the proven health needs of their communities.
