For nearly thirty years, anthropologist and physician Paul Farmer
has traveled to some of the most impoverished places on earth to
bring comfort and the best possible 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 elsewhere 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. Throughout 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 care for the global poor, and
international public health policy, providing a broad overview of
his work. It illuminates the depth and impact of Farmer's
contributions and demonstrates how, over time, this unassuming and
dedicated doctor has fundamentally changed the way we think about
health, international aid, and social justice.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be
donated to Partners In Health.
