Physicians for Human Rights (PHR UK) is an independent group of doctors and health professionals launched two years ago by Drs Ian Munroe, former editor of the Lancet and Peter Kandela, a Middlesex GP. The group's aim is to direct the influence of the medical profession towards the defence of human rights, most immediately by bringing the skills of the medical profession to the aid of victims of human rights abuses (Hall, 1991).
