A couple weeks ago, there was a thread from “things you’ve learned online”.
Today, I learned more about the medical “protected” symbols:
Red Cross - has a Christian connotation.
Red Crescent - an Islamic connotation, but maybe also Hindu?
Red Crystal - non denominational, proposed by Canada, to get away from the religious connotations of the other symbols.
{{The adoption of an additional emblem and the changes to the Statutes of the Movement (June 2006) also paved the way for the admission of the Magen David Adom of Israel and the Palestine Red Crescent Society into the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.}}
