St. Lazarus Corps
The
Special
Rescue
Group
-
St.
Lazarus
Corps
was
founded
on
the
16
of
June
1991.
The
Group
is
also
a
member
of
the
International
Green
Cross
Volunteers
and
a
member
of
the
Association of First Aiders.
Its
founder
Prof.
Sir.
David
J.
Zammit
was
given
command
of
the
Group
with
the
able
assistance of Dr. John Mifsud as Surgeon General and Dr. Joe Pace as Director of training.
The
Staff
officers
of
the
group
started
a
recruitment
and
training
campaign
for
the
new
members of the group.
The
group
was
founded
to
give
help
to
all
people
without
any
discrimination
to
Sex,
Religion,
Nationality
and
Political
opinions.
Its
purpose
is
to
protect
human
life
and
health
and
to
ensure respect for the human being thus developing the Body, the Mind and the Spirit.
It is a voluntary relief movement and not prompted in any way by any desire for any material or any other form of personal gain.
Volunteers
both
male
and
female,
offering
their
services
with
the
group
are
given
the
necessary
training
to
do
there
job
with
the
section they belong. Members are expected to abide by the rules and regulations of the Special Rescue Group.
The groups started to expand by opening branches in the United States of America, Brazil, Denmark, Australia, Germany and Scotland.

On
behalf

I
wish

From
its
initial
days

strived
to
be

needs
of
the
moment
and
to
future
possible
mishaps;
it
has
always
aimed
to
protect, prevent and alleviate sufferings.
We
believe
that
the
Group's
challenging
objective
of
protecting
and
alleviating
injuries,
human
suffering,

found,
can
be
enhanced
and
improved
by
international communication and collaboration.
With
this
aim,
the
Special
Rescue
Group
has
become

the
aim
of
