Star of Life Symbol - Emergency Medical Services Icon #3297388 (License: Personal Use)

This iconic emblem consists of a blue six-pointed star outlined in white, with the Rod of Asclepius-a serpent-entwined staff-positioned vertically at its center. Originally designed by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1973, it represents the six core functions of EMS: detection, reporting, response, on-scene care, care in transit, and transfer to definitive care. The design is standardized for use on ambulances, uniforms, equipment, and official documentation worldwide.
