(A) Mauritius Red Cross contributes to the improvement of health,
prevention of disease and mitigation of suffering by programmes
of training and services for the benefit of the community. These
are adapted to national and local needs and circumstances in
conformity with the objects and purposes of the International
Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
(B) Mauritius is not involved in war or conflicts.
We appreciate the substantial subsidies and grants we obtain
for our Red Cross activities from the Republic of Mauritius
and assistance with the Clinical Attachment Training Scheme
of our Aides-Soignants members by the Ministry of Health in
recent years.
As we did in 1968 and 1972 the Mauritius Red Cross continues
to offer its help to the Ministry of Health of this country
in connection with any Nurses strike or go-slow, which would
inevitably increase the suffering of innocent hospital and
dispensary patients.
We offer our services with no intention of taking sides in
any syndical or political action.
We have a reserve team of qualified, non- practicing nurses
who are assisted by our first aiders who have passed the initial,
intermediate or proficiency exams and by aides- soignants
members and by our professional first aid instructors
