Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: Dr. Ruchama Marton is an Israeli practicing psychiatrist, founder and president of Physicians for Human Rights-Israel. She has been especially active in PHR-Israel's activities in the occupied Palestinian territories, and among the Palestinian prison population in Israel. Her work includes clinical care, teaching, and publishing on these topics. See, e.g. Marton R. Health care and the Palestinian bid for statehood.
