The Rhodesia Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis (R.A.P.T.) was headquartered at the Trade Fair Grounds in Bulawayo. The Bulawayo branch was located at 13th Avenue.
Around 1952, the British Red Cross Society in Bulawayo planned to make a more concerted attack on the social and welfare problems of tuberculosis. This led to the formation of the Rhodesia Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis (RAPT).
In 1955, the British Red Cross Society released an issue of labels where part of the proceeds were donated to R.A.P.T. The cost of the production was borne by Rotary.
The first R.A.P.T. seal was released in 1956 and was available throughout Rhodesia & Nyasaland.
