The Afghan Red Crescent Society formally began operations on 1 June 1934. Its creation marked an effort to organize nationwide humanitarian relief in areas such as health care, disaster response, and public welfare. The organization focused on delivering medical assistance in rural regions, where government infrastructure remained limited. Over time, it built clinics, trained paramedics, and created community support networks. Its founding date is still recognized as a cornerstone moment in the development of modern social services in Afghanistan.
