Global health luminary Paul Farmer was in Washington, D.C., this week to discuss key lessons from the Ebola response — and catch up with some old friends.
Fresh off his Dec. 4 appearance on the popular U.S. television show “The Colbert Report,” Farmer found a few minutes to chat with Devex on the sidelines of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that asked him to talk about global health’s “human resources crisis” and what can be done to overcome it.
Stay tuned for the interview in coming days.
