Paul Farmer Biography
Dr. Farmer is the founder of Partners in Health, an international charity organization that provides direct health care services and undertakes research and advocacy activities on behalf of those who are sick and living in poverty.
Farmer is famous for accomplishing feats in providing healthcare for the poor that nobody ever thought were possible. The Partners in Health clinic in Haiti, the Clinique Bon Sauveur, treats all patients that arrive on its doorstep. All those in need of treatment for AIDS, TB, malaria, and other disease can find it at Clinique Bon Sauveur. There are few other places in developing nations where this is true.
Subject of the book Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder, he is internationally known for his pioneering work in community-based treatment strategies for AIDS and tuberculosis (including multi–drug resistant TB) and his focus on diseases that disproportionately afflict the poor.
Dr. Farmer is also Chief of the Division of Social Medicine and Health Inequalities at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. He is a close friend and ally of RESULTS.
Paul Farmer was recently a candidate for position of Director of USAID.
