Our Programme Domains
The International Cooperation Department of the SRC supports its Sister National Societies and local partners in three programme domains: Health, Disaster Risk Management and National Society Development.
Health
The Swiss Red Cross’s role is to support Sister National Societies in providing additional capacity to their respective governments to enhance the population’s overall health status. The SRC's health policy for international cooperation outlines that increasing people’s access to health, improving the quality of care and assisting people to practice healthy behaviour are the main aims of the SRC and its partner engagement in seven health themes.
The following examples illustrate the impacts of various health interventions in the seven thematic priorities.
