Successful policy
making and strategic action

Symbols of justice and healthcare

Giving patients a voice, fighting for justice.

PATRRAI was founded because we could no longer ignore the silent suffering of patients detained for bills they couldn’t pay, families torn apart by negligence, and lives lost without justice

What we're fighting for
Every patient deserves to be treated with compassion. We are kicking against cruelty and neglect for the voiceless across hospitals nationwide
We exist because too many patients have no voice, no advocate, and no safety net.

Our key strategies include policy interventions that institute laws against medical injustices, legal battles for victims where necessary, and providing basic needs to help free victims from cruel situations as the urgency demands.
