Medal "Cuban Red Cross".
The Cuban Red Cross was founded by Diego Tamayo y Figueredo on the 10th March, 1909 and recognised by the International Committee of the Red Cross on the 7th September 1909.
In 1919 the Cruz Roja Cubana (CRC) joined the International Federation of Red Cross Societies. The Cuban Red Cross maintains an overview of Cuba's medicines and medical supplies and distributes medical donations where they are most needed. Working to alleviate shortages caused by the US embargo, the Cuban Red Cross connects donors with hospitals and clinics around Cuba in order to distribute medical donations as quickly and efficiently as possible. The Cuban Red Cross also responds to natural disasters in Cuba, helping to meet the needs of the Cuban population under extraordinary circumstances. Early Red Cross Medals.

That's an interesting one, Manuel ''Piti'' Fajardo on this Red Cross medal,
he fought alongside and was a Doctor with the rebel army.

Re: Cruz Roja Cubana/Medalla "Cruz Roja Cubana"
An interesting Red "Cross" medal in a secular State. But, then, Cuba's relationship with religion has always been . . . well . . . "textured"?
