Singapore Red Cross
Red Cross work in Singapore began in 30 September 1949 as part of the British Red Cross Society and the Singapore Red Cross (SRC) was incorporated by an Act of Parliament on 6 April 1973. The Singapore Red Cross is part of a world-wide, non-political, non-religious movement which based its work on the fundamental principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality. An independent humanitarian organisation, it raises its own funds in serving humanity and furthering the work of the Red Cross locally and internationally.

The Singapore Red Crosshas been providing an ambulance service since its set-up in 1949. However, it was only in 1973 that the service was fully utilised to provide non-emergency transportation for those who need to be admitted and discharged from hospitals, as well as those who require to visit hospitals for regular check-ups. The Red Cross Ambulance Service today boasts a fleet of fully equipped ambulances and a pool of trained staff that provides non-emergency ambulance service to the needy and less fortunate in our community. This service targets 3,000 trips annually. The Singapore Red Cross also heavily subsidises the cost of needy patients who are unable to afford payment for the service.
