Medical anthropologist and physician Paul Farmer has dedicated his life to treating some of the world's poorest populations, in the process helping to raise the standard of health care in underdeveloped areas of the world. He is a founding director 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. Dr. Farmer and his colleagues at Partners In Health have successfully challenged the policymakers and critics who claim that quality health care is impossible to deliver in resource-poor areas.
