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.{{cite web |title=História da CVB |url=http://www.cruzvermelha.org.br/pb/institucional/historia-da-cvb/ |website=cruzvermelha.org.br |publisher=Cruz Vermelha Brasileira |access-date=14 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190106204125/http://www.cruzvermelha.org.br/pb/institucional/historia-da-cvb/ |archive-date=6 January 2019 |location=Rio de Janeiro, Brazil |language=pt |trans-title=History of the CVB |date=2017}} In 1912, the physician Marie Rennotte founded the branch for the state of São Paulo.{{cite web |author= |title=Maria Rennotte e sua trajetória na medicina social |url=https://cruzvermelhasp.org.br/maria-rennotte-trajetoria-na-medicina-social/ |website=cruzvermelhasp.org.br |publisher=Cruz Vermelha Brasileira |access-date=14 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181201110350/https://cruzvermelhasp.org.br/maria-rennotte-trajetoria-na-medicina-social/ |archive-date=1 December 2018 |location=São Paulo, Brazil |language=pt |trans-title=Maria Rennotte and her trajectory in social medicine |date=2013}} By 1919, the organization had joined the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
