PHR was founded in 1986 on the idea that health professionals, with their specialized skills, ethical duties, and credible voices, are uniquely positioned to investigate the health consequences of human rights violations and work to stop them.

Membership is open to all, not only health professionals. PHR shared the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize. (About).
