Since 2019, the Health and Human Rights Intitiative has been driven to bring compassionate care and justice to those seeking a safer life. Our multi-disciplinary team is doing groundbreaking work in bringing hope to asylum seekers, standardizing clinical training in human rights and asylum medicine, and arming researchers and advocates with the tools and evidence they need to create a better, more compassionate world.
