This image displays the Star of Life, a six-pointed red star adopted by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1973 as the official symbol for emergency medical services. At its center is the Rod of Asclepius-a single serpent entwined around a staff-symbolizing healing and medicine, distinguishing it from the caduceus. The design is used on ambulances, uniforms, signage, and medical equipment worldwide.
