Poverty, Paul Farmer once wrote, is not an accident. It is the result of “historically given and economically driven” processes designed specifically to perpetuate it. I pray his memory inspires generations to carry on the work he started, dismantling structural violence

The passing of Dr Paul Farmer has shaken us deeply. It was because of Paul that we have a Program in Global Surgery and Social Change. He was our greatest advocate and friend, and we will continue to keep alive his legacy of hope, dignity, and health care access for all.
