Exam answer
The RED CROSS (International Red Cross Society).
Explanation
The Red Cross is an international humanitarian organisation whose work includes FIRST AID TRAINING, ACCIDENT PREVENTION education, disaster relief and the running of BLOOD BANKS.
Do not confuse it with the WHO (World Health Organization), which is the United Nations agency concerned with public health generally — disease eradication programmes, health standards and statistics.
