Facts of the OCIBE Symbol

The OCIBE symbol is based on an interesting design rationale by Dr Kelvin Wong who is the Founder of this society.

The two snakes on a pole is a prominent symbol of medicine in history. In the bible, The LORD once said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” Following the command of God, Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. As a result, whenever anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they survived. This symbol of the snake on a pole became the symbolic representation of medicine throughout history.

Next, the Eagle head icon is used in heraldry as a symbol of power and a prominent leader, and also as a keeper of people. The eagle's keen eyes symbolized perspicacity, courage, strength and sometimes even immortality. In ancient Greek, the Eagle head and its wings is also considered as the ruler of the skies and a messenger of God.

The red cross is a symbolized protection of the wounded and for all those who attend and care for them. The two olive leaves symbolized peace or victory historically.
