ABSTRACT/RESUME:

The ba­sic tasks of the Red Cross So­ci­ety were re­la­ted to ac­ti­on in war­ti­me con­di­ti­ons. However, in pe­a­ce­ti­me, this or­ga­ni­za­ti­on re­pre­sen­ted an auxili­ary body of mi­li­tary and ci­vi­li­an he­alth aut­ho­ri­ti­es, so it fo­cu­sed its ac­ti­vi­ti­es on pro­vi­ding as­si­stan­ce to sick, ne­glec­ted chil­dren, as well as tho­se thre­a­te­ned by na­tu­ral di­sa­sters. The for­med Mo­ra­va Ba­no­vi­na Com­mit­tee ma­na­ged the or­ga­ni­za­ti­on of co­unty and mu­ni­ci­pal com­mit­te­es and the acqui­si­ti­on of ci­ti­zens for mem­bers­hip. The fi­nan­cing of the ba­no­vi­na bo­ard is or­ga­ni­zed from va­ri­o­us so­ur­ces, pri­ma­rily mem­bers­hip fe­es. It is not un­com­mon for lar­ge in­vest­ments to require help from lo­cal in­sti­tu­ti­ons, but al­so from the Cen­tral Bo­ard, which is ot­herwise responsi­ble for al­lo­ca­ting cer­ta­in funds to mu­ni­ci­pa­li­ti­es. One of the mo­re im­por­tant ac­ti­vi­ti­es of the Ba­no­vi­na Com­mit­tee was the tra­i­ning, in co­o­pe­ra­ti­on with the mi­li­tary aut­ho­ri­ti­es and lo­cal he­alth in­sti­tu­ti­ons, of vo­lun­te­er pa­ra­me­dics, who, in ca­se of war, would be help­ful with the­ir ba­sic knowled­ge of me­di­ci­ne. The da­ta show a much hig­her re­spon­se among women, for whom the­se co­ur­ses al­so de­ter­mi­ned the­ir pro­fes­si­o­nal ori­en­ta­ti­on.
