Doctors Against Genocide

What Doctors Against Genocide does

Doctors Against Genocide (DAG) is a US-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit coalition of healthcare professionals founded in 2024 and headquartered in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. The organization coordinates advocacy, education, and humanitarian fundraising campaigns aimed at preventing genocide and protecting healthcare access in six conflict-affected regions: Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Rohingya communities. It reports a coalition of 20,000+ healthcare workers, operates 6+ medical points, and has 2 hospital rebuilds (Al-Shifa 140-bed extension and Kamal Adwan Hospital) underway. Leadership is co-founder–led by Dr. Nidal Jboor and Dr. Karameh Kuemmerle-Hawash.

DAG's core offerings consist of educational resources (Medical Definition of Genocide framework, Refeeding Syndrome Clinical Guide authored by Dr. Nashat Imran in English and Arabic, Sick From Genocide FAQs, Anti-Palestinian Racism guide), advocacy campaigns (Protect Dr. Abu Safiya, Free Gaza Doctors, Prescription to End Genocide, Bread Not Bombs, No Child A Target, Not Another Child Not Another Hospital), humanitarian fundraising campaigns across all six regions, weekly Sunday Zoom webinars featuring frontline physicians, and policy briefings including the joint 'Starving a Generation' research report with Defense for Children International – Palestine (published June 24, 2025). The organization also runs a merchandise operation (DAG Shops on Shopify and branded lab coats via Uniform Center of Lansing), a free individual membership program, an institutional membership tier (Medical Alliance Against Genocide, MAAG), and a structured Chapter Program covering Hospital, Medical School/Residency, and City/Regional chapters.

The revenue model is donation-driven: the organization states 100% of donations flow to medical aid and community support, with operational funds implied to come from non-program-designated gifts and merchandise margins. Distribution is primarily digital — YouTube, Instagram, X (@docstopgenocide), Facebook, email newsletters, weekly webinars, and the dagshops.com merchandise store — supplemented by in-person advocacy events such as the scheduled Day on the Hill in Washington, D.C. on July 22, 2026. There is no software platform, API, or proprietary technology product; the entire portfolio is content, advocacy, organizing, and humanitarian fundraising.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• American Medical Association (AMA): Largest U.S. physician membership organization with broad advocacy remit; broader incumbent operating across medical policy generally, but periodically engages on humanitarian and human-rights issues relevant to physician practice — comparable in the physician-voice advocacy mechanism.
• International Rescue Committee (IRC): Major humanitarian NGO delivering emergency aid, health services, and advocacy in conflict-affected regions including Sudan, DRC, and Rohingya contexts; broader incumbent with comparable multi-region footprint, structured humanitarian operations, and donor-advocacy hybrid model.
• World Health Organization (WHO) Health Emergencies Programme: UN specialized agency coordinating international response to health emergencies including attacks on healthcare in conflict zones; broader public-sector incumbent whose emergency response framework overlaps with DAG's "Genocide is a Public Health Emergency" framing.
• Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders): Global medical-humanitarian organization providing direct medical care in conflict zones, raising both donations and physician advocacy; comparable in mission and global footprint, but operates at vastly larger scale with direct clinical operations rather than an advocacy coalition model.

Direct peers

• Physicians for Human Rights: U.S.-based nonprofit mobilizing physicians and health professionals to document atrocities, prevent human rights abuses, and advocate for accountability; directly comparable physician-led advocacy coalition serving overlapping functions including documentation, education, and policy work.
• International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW): Global federation of physician organizations mobilizing the medical profession against existential threats; directly comparable as a physician-credentialed advocacy coalition, and already appears as an endorsing partner of DAG's statements.
• Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP): UK-registered charity delivering medical aid and advocating for Palestinian health rights; directly comparable in mission, beneficiary focus, and the combination of humanitarian delivery with health-professional advocacy.
• Physicians for a National Health Program: U.S. physician-advocacy organization mobilizing the medical community around policy reform; comparable in using physician professional authority as the basis for collective advocacy and education campaigns.

Emerging players

• Healthcare Workers for Palestine: Coalition of healthcare workers advocating for Palestinian health rights; directly comparable niche coalition with overlapping membership pool and advocacy agenda.

Regional players

• Palestinian Medical Relief Society: Palestinian-led nonprofit providing frontline medical services and community health in the occupied territories; most directly comparable for the Gaza/West Bank medical aid dimension, although it operates as a service provider rather than a diaspora-based advocacy coalition.
