After the establishment of the Polish Red Cross Society, 4 large Regional Committees were created: Lesser Poland, Greater Poland, South-Eastern, and Polesie-Minsk, with main centers in Krakow, Lviv, Poznań, and Warsaw. The creation of these regions was recorded in the first Statute of the PTCK from 1919.

After the Red Army entered Polish territory, thousands of Polish soldiers and representatives of the intelligentsia were taken into Soviet captivity. The NKVD placed them in special camps, having previously organized a selection for officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates.
Over the years, the rules for statutory financing of the PCK's activities have changed, as has our role and position in the state.
During the interwar period, the Polish Red Cross held a privileged position in the state, benefiting from the provisions of the law granting it donations from the sale of tickets for various types of shows, performances, concerts, spectacles, competitions, etc.
The PCK enjoyed immense social trust during the Second Republic, and the most important figures in the state always spoke of our organization with the highest regard.
„Let the Red Cross not be red like an unhealed wound, but let it adorn the red of a heart that loves its neighbor and brings him active help” - Gen. Józef Haller, 1919
