IFHHRO
The International Federation of Health and Human Rights Organisations stimulates international cooperation between health and human rights organisations worldwide. The Federation currently consists of 31 member and observer organisations from various countries. Institutional members are associations of health professionals interested in human rights work, human rights groups which address health-related violations of human rights or organisations that have been created to mobilise health professionals for the protection of human rights. Since 2010, IFHHRO membership is also open to individuals.
