Physicians for Human Rights
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) uses medicine and science to document and call attention to mass atrocities and severe human rights violations. PHR was founded on the idea that physicians, scientists, and other health professionals possess unique skills that lend significant credibility to the investigation and documentation of human rights abuses.

Impact
“…The last beneficiary is the survivor. When we learn how to work on them, how to listen to them, how to conduct examinations, collect evidence, send to the court, the court understanding all the whole process and then, there is prosecution of the perpetrator. All this is done for the benefit of the survivor.”
-Physician, DRC
