About Us
The International Blue Cross & Blue Crescent® (IBC)
is an international, non-profit, charitable, non-governmental,
politically and religiously neutral organisation with headquarters
in the United Kingdom and Thailand.
We were created to enable
all interested humanitarian workers to offer their skills
in service of humanity, in particularly to enable all interested
humanitarian medical and healthcare professionals to offer
their skills as humanitarian medics for the promotion of
humanitarian community public health, to poverty regions,
disaster stricken or disaster vulnerable regions, to enable
all interested humanitarian rescue workers to offer their
skills in those disaster stricken regions, and to provide
education programs in disaster awareness, preparation &
prevention, survival skills, emergency planning in disaster
vulnerable regions, so our members can assist, albeit in
a small way to provide help, hope, and health for all humanity,
thus we promote our organisations projects and programs
with campaign slogans such as 'help4humanity', 'hope4humanity',
and 'health4humanity' or simply H4H.
The IBC's objectives
as set out in its constitution, is the effective delivery
of humanitarian aid and services and in particular, humanitarian
medicine healthcare to poverty stricken regions and provide
emergency response and rescue services in disaster stricken
regions, disaster awareness, preparation & prevention
programs in disaster vulnerable regions, in co-operation
with other specialised agencies, governmental and non-governmental
organisations. The International Blue Cross & Blue Crescent
have a collaborative partnership with the World Organisation
of Natural Medicine (WONM) thus we are committed to the
delivery of natural and traditional forms of health care,
in addition to conventional medical healthcare. More
