Saudi Red Crescent Authority

The Red Crescent has a particular role to play during Hajj (the annual pilgrimage to Mecca), providing on-the-spot first aid and using its fleet of vehicles (1300 in 2009) to take emergency cases to the nearest medical facility.

The Saudi Red Crescent Authorities offer medical service of first aid to those in the kingdom in ordinary circumstances and at time of catastrophes.

Battles broke out in mountains of Asir and Tihamah coasts where no convenient facilities or medical supplies for the wounded civilians and militants were available.

As the government of the late King Faisal bin Abdul-Aziz believed in the necessity of providing ambulatory medical care the idea of establishing the association for provision of ambulance transport was proposed in the year of 1934.
