Description

The Ministry of Public Health's flag features the MSP logo centered on a white field. The logo has the Ministry's acronym - MSP - in lowercase, dark blue, rounded letters, where the "m" looks like two people standing side-by-side with the addition of two dots above the letter. A green two-thirds circle stretches from the first dot over the "m" to the bottom of the "p." Below that logo is the Ministry's name, spelled out in dark blue capital letters.
