Physicians for Human Rights (Israel)
- Website: www.phr.org.il/phr
- Founded 1988, based in Israel (PHR-I is not part of the US-based Physicians for Human Rights).
- According to its mission statement, PHR-I is "an Alliance of Science and Conscience" and "a ...non-partisan, nonprofit organization, dedicated to promoting and protecting the medical human rights of all resident of Israel and the Occupied Territories.
- In practice, PHR-I's primary objective is strongly political, despite claims that it opposes "the subjugation of medical care to political considerations of any kind..."
- As a result of PHR-I's radical political agenda, the Israel Physician's Union halted cooperative activities.
- Funders include the NDC (Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands: $125,000 in 2008-9), Diakonia (SEK 1.02 million in 2008-9, from the Swedish government), EU (722,000 NIS in 2007), NIF ($155,000, 2007), Oxfam (211,000 NIS, 2007), Christian Aid (151,000 NIS, 2007), and other foundations and church groups (2007 information from the Israeli Registry of Non-Profits).
