Deaths averted, doctors trained, clinics staff ed, communities reached, minds changed, lives touched: the metrics for measuring the impact of the late Dr Paul Farmer (1959-2022) are impressive in themselves. As a physician, medical anthropologist, professor, author and public health activist, Dr Farmer’s commitment to advancing health equity is felt from Boston to Peru, Rwanda to Haiti—contexts where he worked on the ground and shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the world’s most vulnerable populations.
