Partners In Health

Partners In Health-Was founded in 1987 by Dr. Paul Farmer. Its missions was originally to provide health care to poor nations, but partners in health is making strides in a lot of health areas affecting humanity. It operates on the fundamentals that health is a fundamental right for humanity and not a privilege for the few.
Hilary Clinton jsut completed a speech she once again spoke out about her health care plan. Its not clear whether hilary has the proper health care plan for the country, but at least she has a plan. We must do something abotu this growing problem. Perhaps Hilary should contact Dr Paul Farmer and Partners In Health and listen to their expert opinions on how to combat these types of health issues.
“Partners In Health’s success has helped prove that allegedly “untreatable” health problems can be addressed effectively, even in poor settings. Until very recently, it is conventional wisdom that neither multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) nor AIDS could be treated in such settings.
The training’s will be conducted by experts from Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), a major Harvard University teaching hospital closely affiliated with PIH, and are funded as part of a $4 million grant made to PIH and BWH through The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership. The announcement was made in conjunction with the release here today by the World Health Organization of the largest survey ever conducted on the global spread of MDR-TB
Years ago he founded Partners in Health to address tuberculosis in Haiti. Prevailing wisdom at the time was that it was not “sustainable” to deliver complicated treatment regimens to poor people in places like Haiti. So Dr[.] Farmer had to take it upon himself to prove that “wisdom” to be incorrect.”
