Overview

The world mourned the passing of Dr. Paul Farmer, a revolutionary physician whose life was a tireless fight against injustice. From the sun-scorched hills of Haiti to the halls of Harvard, Farmer challenged the very foundations of global health, arguing that a child dying of a preventable disease was not a tragedy but a ""structural violence""-a profound moral failing of our society. This comprehensive biography is a journey into the life of the man who co-founded Partners In Health, proving to a skeptical world that it was possible to provide high-quality, dignified care to the poor. Through groundbreaking battles against epidemics like tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, Farmer's radical empathy and unwavering conviction inspired a global movement and redefined what is possible in the fight for human dignity. A testament to the idea that hope is a moral obligation, this book reveals the life of a man who showed us that a single act of compassion can be a beacon of hope, and a single life of action can change the world.
