[The Red Cross and Scandinavian disaster aid]

In 1970, the League of Red Cross Societies drew up a plan for the training of delegates in international relief work. The main tasks of the delegates can be divided into: 1) disaster relief, 2) war-time relief work, 3) assistance in organising national Red Cross societies. Special training of certain categories, e. g. doctors, is now being considered. In many relief operations it would be of value to have a doctor as an administrative delegate. It should be easier for the doctor than for a non-medically trained person to decide where and when medical aid should be administered.
