Medical Symbol Combining Maltese Cross and Star of Life | Healthcare Iconography #95605 (License: Personal Use)

This composite icon merges the red Maltese cross-historically associated with humanitarian aid and fire/rescue services-with the blue Star of Life, the universal symbol for emergency medical services. At its center, the Rod of Asclepius (a serpent entwined around a staff) signifies medicine and healing, reinforcing the image’s dual identity as both a rescue and clinical care symbol. The clean vector design ensures high visibility and recognition in digital and print applications.
