Finance
The Japanese Red Cross Society has 1 general account and 3 special accounts, each independent of each other.
The general account is used to fund the activities at the JRCS Headquarters and chapters. It is mainly financed by membership fees and donations. The special accounts, on the other hand are mainly covered by compensation fees for the services run by the JRCS institutions (medical services by medical fees paid by patients and the National Health Insurance Programme, blood services by proceeds from blood and blood-product sales, and social welfare services by care benefit incomes).
