HealthRight International, Inc. is a health and development nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering marginalized and vulnerable populations—including migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons, women, children, and adolescents—to live healthy lives with equitable access to quality health care as a basic human right. The private company is based in New York, NY. The organization emphasizes the interconnection of health and human rights and focuses on strengthening underfunded health systems in low-income and post-conflict countries. Its programs address reproductive and maternal health, adolescent health, mental health, HIV/AIDS, survivors of violence and trauma, gender-based violence prevention, and emergency relief efforts. Initiatives include community-based psychosocial care in conflict-affected regions, forensic evaluations and case management for survivors of torture and abuse, and adolescent-focused projects combating early marriage, violence, and HIV risk. HealthRight partners with governments, UN agencies, and local organizations to deliver services such as crisis counseling, safe relocation, medical and legal assistance, and psychosocial support, and supports LGBTQI-sensitive health services through evidence-based, community-driven approaches.
