International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is an international humanitarian movement whose stated mission is to protect human life and health, to ensure respect for the human being, and to prevent and alleviate human suffering, without any discrimination based on nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. The often-heard term International Red Cross is actually a misnomer, as no official organization exists bearing that name. In reality, the Movement consists of several distinct organizations that are legally independent from each other, but are united within the Movement through common basic principles, objectives, symbols, statutes, and governing organs.

Because the Red Cross means help and green Cross is for safety. The symbolic meanings date back to symbolic writings.

the symbol is supposed to be a cross and used by RED CROSS in RED COLOUR. EARLIER till last 2 years everybody , all Hospitals etc. were illegally using this sign. there was a restraint on use of the RED CROSS Symbol. and NOW you find HOSPITLALS etc. using GREEN COLOUR instead of RED
