The most recognizable emblem of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, an organized movement to provide volunteer medical aid. It is a simple red cross symbol. The Red Cross emblem was officially approved in Geneva in 1863.

This tag should be used even if the emblem is depicted as a different color, so long as it is clearly serving the same function.

Historically, Red Cross symbol also remains in use since the USSR times in the Russian Federation as a simple ambulance, first aid kit, etc. symbol of the medicine itself, not directly connected to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
