PROTECT THE RED CROSS EMBLEM: KNOW THE ALTERNATIVES.

The Red Cross emblem is a globally recognised and legally protected humanitarian symbol. Its use is restricted to authorised purposes under the Geneva Conventions and Uganda's Red Cross Act, Cap 30.

For organisations, businesses and individuals providing medical, pharmaceutical or first-aid services, there are other symbols that can be used without appropriating the protected Red Cross emblem.

These include:

- Green Cross: Commonly used to identify pharmacies and pharmaceutical services.
- Blue Star of Life: Widely used to identify ambulance and emergency medical services.
- White Cross on a Green Background: Commonly used to indicate first-aid points and facilities.
- White H on a Blue Background: Commonly used to identify hospitals.

These symbols serve different identification purposes and do not carry the same legal protection or humanitarian meaning as the Red Cross emblem.

Our message is simple: you do not need to use the Red Cross emblem to communicate that you provide medical or health services. Choose an appropriate alternative and respect the emblem.

↪️Recognise it.
↪️Respect it.
↪️Protect it.

Uganda Red Cross Society emergency response teams responded to a mass casualty road traffic accident at Aromo Trading Centre in Lira District on Sunday evening, 8 November 2026.

The accident involved a truck transporting football fans from Lira to Kole, which overturned after reportedly failing to negotiate a wide pothole.

A total of 12 casualties were recorded. Uganda Red Cross deployed an ambulance and emergency medical personnel, working alongside Lira Regional Referral Hospital ambulance and Lira Central Police Station to support the emergency response.

Casualties were evacuated to Lira Regional Referral Hospital for further assessment and management, while those with minor injuries received treatment at the scene.

We extend our thoughts to all those affected and wish the injured a quick recovery.

Road safety is everyone's responsibility. Slow down, stay alert and drive ssfely.
