John Green—bestselling author and longtime supporter of PIH—wrote a tribute to Paul Farmer. The following is an excerpt from The Washington Post:
“I don’t really believe in heroizing individuals, but Paul was, for me and for many, a hero. As a medical anthropologist and physician, he was deeply committed to the belief that all human lives had dignity and that every person deserves access to high-quality health care. He lived this belief for his entire career.”
