Direct Relief was privileged to host renowned global humanitarian Dr. Paul Farmer on April 8th, 2014 to discuss disparities in health care around the world. A Harvard physician and medical anthropologist as well as subject of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, A Man Who Would Cure the World, Farmer is the founding director of Partners in Health (PIH), an international charity that has worked with Direct Relief since 2008. Over the last six years, Direct Relief has provided PIH with more than $12 million in medical aid, much of which has helped provide life-saving health care to people in Haiti.
