Description

For nearly thirty years, anthropologist and physician Paul Farmer has traveled to one of the crucial most impoverished places on this planet to bring comfort and the most productive imaginable medical care to the poorest of the poor. Driven by his stated intent to “make human rights substantial,” Farmer has treated patients—and worked to address the root causes of their disease—in Haiti, Boston, Peru, Rwanda, and in different places in the developing world. In 1987, with several colleagues, he founded Partners In Health to provide a preferential option for the poor in health care. Right through his career, Farmer has written eloquently and extensively on these efforts. Partner to the Poor collects his writings from 1988 to 2009 on anthropology, epidemiology, health handle the global poor, and international public health policy, providing a broad overview of his work. It illuminates the depth and affect of Farmer’s contributions and demonstrates how, through the years, this unassuming and dedicated doctor has fundamentally changed the way we take into consideration health, international aid, and social justice.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Partners In Health.
