- A white figure of a nurse viewed from left profile, against red and gold background, carries a huge white shield with a red Cross of Lorraine (i.e. symbol of the global fight against tuberculosis and lung diseases) painted on it. She is facing four large brown snakes ready to attack. In her right hand this nurse guardian is carrying the Fasces, a bundle of rods with an ax projecting from it as a symbol of power.
