Red Cross/ Red Cresent is an International organization while SAMU is the French equevalant of the US 911 or the Emergency Medical Services. SAMU means Service d'Aide Médicale Urgente) or "emergency medical assistance" in English. "A SAMU Social is a municipal emergency service in several cities in France whose purpose is to provide care and medical aid to homeless people. This is partially accomplished via mobile units which distribute food, hot drinks, blankets, etc." from Wikipedia

SAMU is an international term and concept not only French . In many countries this international acronym is Marked on Ambulances that are agreed and regulated du SAMU. (Belgium, Luxembourg, Swirzeland, Italia, Spain, Chile, Brazil, etc) . Most extended national specilfically called "Samu" are to day in France, Chile and Brazil

SAMU new Public Health Service , it is a Regional Emergency Call Center only for Medical Emergencies wher a Regulator Physician Physician is in charge of Medical Regulation that means Dignose , Classify and respond dispatching the best mobile cara giver and orient the patient towards the best hospital response. American 911 is only coparable with European 112 salve that 112 operators connect with SAMU that do not exist in USA! Emergency Medical Assistance is a cloudy term not the traduction of SAMU.

"Samu Social" even writen "Samusocial" are a confusing names , they are neither a SAMU nor a Public Social Aid Service and neither comparable with Red Cross! But Red Cross acts as Emergency/Chronic Social Aid Service in many cases and localions when Public Services give this task to it.
