The Norwegian Red Cross (Norges Røde Kors) was founded September 22, 1865 by prime minister Frederik Stang. In 1907 the Norwegian Ministry of Defence authorized the organization for voluntary medical aid in war. The Norwegian Red Cross was one of the first national organizations in the International Red Cross.
The organization now has 170,000 members and provides a variety of humanitarian services, including care for old and the infirm, prisoner visits, mountain rescue, and international work.
