Red Crescent

World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day celebrated

This year the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is recognising the roles staff and volunteers have played in reaching and supporting people affected by COVID-19, especially in places of detention, remote parts of Papua New Guinea and hospitals in provinces where the PNGRCS volunteers are actively working.

In PNG, with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Red Cross staff and volunteers have supported local communities through awareness raising on prevention measures and providing hygiene and sanitation assistance for communities.
