I wish we can design some symbol to replace the red cross. I know most Chinese don't think there's any religious connotation in the red cross but rest of the world may feel a bit funny seeing Chinese ships and helios with a giant cross on them.

Also, ain't the red cross design a registered trademark of some sort?

Well the red cross is kinda like the universal health/hospital sign so most countries generally go with it.
