19 of 38
&pageText=The red cross on a white background has been formally designated by the Geneva Convention as the emblem and distinctive sign of Medical Services of the armed forces. In countries which already had an emblem, those emblems are also recognized. These include the Red Crescent and the Red Lion and Sun on white backgrounds. Israel has reserved the right to use the Red Shield of David for its medical service, but it is not specifically recognized by the Convention.&
