Description
In this episode, pioneering physician, anthropologist, and Partners In Health co-founder Dr. Paul Farmer joins Chelsea Clinton to talk about his life’s work to deliver quality, comprehensive health care and fight devastating diseases in some of the poorest places on Earth. Paul has often found himself on the front lines to contain major public health and humanitarian crises in some of the most at-risk places in the world, helping to stop pandemics before they spread and, most importantly, caring for those affected. Together with co-founders Jim Yong Kim and Ophelia Dahl, Paul has forever changed the field of public health through his revolutionary approach to global health equity by supporting strong community-based health systems and partnering with institutions like Harvard Medical School and the Clinton Health Access Initiative to provide all people with world-class medicine. In this episode, Paul shares stories about what he has learned from combating HIV/AIDS, the 2014 Ebola outbreak, and building clinics in countries like Haiti, Rwanda, and Mexico – and why he is optimistic about the future of public health.
