What to know before using it

PHR is a rights research and advocacy organization, rather than a general medical-care directory. Read sampling, consent, verification and access limitations in each report. Distinguish organizational publications from separately published academic studies; medical expertise does not make every claim peer reviewed. Last reviewed 2026-10-29; see the stated review scope.

Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) is a U.S. nonprofit applying medical, public health, forensic and legal expertise to human rights investigations. Its international work includes documenting attacks on health care, torture, sexual violence and persecution, together with advocacy and professional training.

Evidence and transparency: Investigations can combine interviews, surveys, clinical or forensic documentation and records analysis. Methods and limitations are specific to each study. The organization publishes its board roster, audited financial statements and tax filings.

Review scope: Last reviewed 2026-10-29: public-source desk review of official identity, geography, subject scope, available methods, access and institutional disclosures. Field operations, every finding and restricted services were not independently audited. Inclusion identifies a source to assess; it does not imply H/S endorses every position, appeal or finding.
