From Harm to Healing: Restoring Trust in Healthcare
A division of the Misdiagnosis Association and Research Institute (MARI)
What Is MARI Charity?
MARI Charity is a branch of the Misdiagnosis Association and Research Institute (MARI), non-profit and interdisciplinary organization dedicated to the study and prevention of medical errors.
MARI Charity was founded to support those affected by these experiences and to help patients and families move from harm toward healing. We offer resources such as connecting patients and families to resources such as:
- Financial assistance
- Legal aid
- Education
All of which are intended to help restore trust in healthcare and ensure that no one has to face medical harm alone.
Through survivor support programs, public awareness efforts, and partnerships for meaningful reform, MARI Charity transforms mismedicine into collective progress.
What Is Mismedicine?
Dr. Pooya Beigi, created the term Mismedicine to fully describe mistakes that occur in healthcare including misdiagnosis, incorrect treatments, delayed care, poor communication, system breakdowns, and much more.
Unlike narrower terms such as misdiagnosis or malpractice, Mismedicine captures the full spectrum of medical errors, oversights, and institutional gaps that negatively impact patient outcomes. It encompasses everything from delayed diagnoses and treatment errors to poor communication and ethical lapses. By adopting this umbrella term, we aim to foster a more unified understanding of healthcare shortcomings and integrate the concept into academic and medical discourse.
