The Red Cross of Chad ({{langx|fr|Croix-Rouge du Tchad}}, {{langx|ar|الصليب الأحمر التشادي}}) was founded in 1983. It has its headquarters in N’Djamena, Chad.
In 2018, CRC trainers collaborated with international researchers from LFR International to create a lay first responder program in Am Timan. Investigators trained local motorcycle taxi drivers to provide first aid and transport. Over 12 months, first responders demonstrated a cost-effective prehospital emergency care alternative for rural African settings.{{Cite journal|last1=Hancock|first1=Canaan J.|last2=Delaney|first2=Peter G.|author-link2=Peter G.
