The Heart of Mercy Medal is awarded for showing exceptional devotion and competence in the performance of medical duties over a continuous and significant period, or to an individual who has performed an exceptional act of bravery to assist a person in need. The Heart of Mercy is one of the distinguished awards that allow its recipient the use of post-nominal letters, and might warrant a noble title.

Description

The medal is a circular shape of silver colour. The obverse displays a kneeling knight on the left with a flower lily on the right, circumscribed by the inscription THERE IS NO DARKNESS IN JOU'S LIGHT. The reverse bears the name of the recipient and the date awarded. The medal is mounted to the ribbon by a silver clasp with the inscription ONE NATION UNDER JOU.

The rectangular ribbon consists of a central white stripe, flanked by a pink stripe on the left and a light blue stripe on the right, with an outer stripe of violet on the left and dark blue on the right.
