Physicians for Human Rights (PHR)
The Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) promotes health by protecting human rights. They believe that human rights are essential preconditions for the health and well-being of all people. Using medical and scientific methods, they investigate and expose violations of human rights worldwide and they work to stop them.
They support institutions that hold perpetrators of human rights abuses, including health professionals, accountable for their actions. They educate health professionals and medical, public health and nursing students and organize them to become active in supporting a movement for human rights and creating a culture of human rights in the medical and scientific professions.
