"Together for a
wholesome future."

International Blue Cross

The International Federation of the Blue Cross is one of the world's leading non-governmental organisations, caring for people harmed by or at risk from alcohol or illicit drug use.

Our work focuses primarily on young and vulnerable people, and on those in extreme poverty. Through carefully researched and targeted interventions we advocate for evidence-based alcohol policies at the national and international level. In doing so, we seek to draw positive and dignified attention to the issues faced by dependent people and their families.

For over a hundred years, committed and passionate Blue Cross health care professionals and volunteers continue to provide high quality prevention and treatment services to people and communities in countries around the world.
