History
In 1907, physician Joaquim de Oliveira Botelho proposed organizing the Brazilian Red Cross in Rio de Janeiro and gained support from members of the Brazilian Historic and Geographic Institute. Articles of Association were drafted and approved on 5 December 1908, and the organization gained recognition as a national branch of the International Committee of the Red Cross in the period from 1910 to 1912.[5] In 1912, the physician Marie Rennotte founded the branch for the state of São Paulo.[6] By 1919, the organization had joined the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.[5]
