PHR's 20th Anniversary


Health Professionals Who Have Made Exemplary Contributions to Human Rights

Our 2006 PHR Health and Human Rights Awardees:

On the evening of October 21, 2006, PHR invited friends and supporters to the Boston Public Library for a dinner reception to honor health professionals who have made exemplary contributions to human rights - individuals who use their specialized skills, knowledge and influence to curb the spread of HIV/AIDS, speak out against torture, protect the rights of people in conflict, and work in other ways to promote the health and human rights of all people.

The evening brought together prominent physicians, nurses, public health professionals, philanthropists and other individuals who support PHR's vision of a world free of human rights abuses, a world in which all people have the potential for the highest attainable standard of health and wellbeing.

In addition, PHR is honoring 20 outstanding health professionals who have made personal and professional sacrifices to advance health, dignity and justice on a range of human rights issues.
