The Red Crescent Medical College, unlike other private Medical Colleges, is not owned by an individual or a group of individuals; instead, it is owned by Pak Red Crescent Society which is affiliated with the International Red Cross Society and is known for its services for the needy patients all over the world. It is running a lot of projects in Pakistan like Blood Banks, Thalassemia centers and the projects for disaster management. The Red Crescent Medical College & Teaching Hospital was one of those projects which were built in 2012 on main Multan Road, about 48 KM from Lahore.
