Turkish Red Crescent

Overview

The Turkish Red Crescent was born of a desire of a group of idealist Ottoman doctors to treat wounded and soldiers on the battlefield. The National Society, formerly known as "The Ottoman Relief Society for the Wounded and Sick Soldiers", was founded on 11 July 1868. Later on, in 1923, the Society was renamed as the Turkey Red Crescent Association, and finally in 1947 the organization was named Turkish Red Crescent. It works to carry out effective and influential humanitarian aid activities during both disaster periods and ordinary times in order to ensure that everyone, especially people in fragile areas, live humanely in our country and across the world.
