Last week, Queen Mathilde of Belgium visited the two care homes in Brussels. The Queen thanked all volunteers who have helped in homes for the elderly. To support the medical staff, the Belgian Red Cross deployed volunteers who carry out logistical tasks in order to relieve the staff in the healthcare sector. More than 10,000 candidates have already registered and regularly provide assistance in more than 300 health centers. Belgian Red Cross-Flanders is an independent volunteer organization.
