The Indonesian Red Cross Society (Indonesian: Palang Merah Indonesia, PMI) is a humanitarian organization in Indonesia. It is a member of International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
Indonesia is one of the few Muslim-majority countries to use the Red Cross as its symbol. Indonesia is not a strictly faith-based nation.[1]
In mid-2013, the Indonesian Red Cross Society had 32,568 people in its Volunteer Corps, 19,294 Individual Volunteers and 893,381 Blood Donor Volunteers, for a total of 945,243 persons, which is recorded as the highest number of volunteers in the world.[2]
