Abstract

Paul Farmer is a physician and anthropologist who championed social justice and the right to health for all human beings. His work with colleagues at Partners in Health set the stage for community-participatory health care involving local providers and stakeholders. He has been described as an iconic figure in global public health and a true humanitarian due to his tireless efforts to reduce health inequities throughout the world. His leadership in responding to pressing health concerns such as the HIV-AIDS crisis in Haiti and elsewhere, multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis, Ebola, and more recently, COVID-19, has been lauded by everyone ranging from world leaders to the mothers and fathers of children affected by these dreadful diseases. Farmer also inspired a great many anthropologists to consider social justice as the best way forward to eliminate health inequities. Here, Himmelgreen et al reflect on how Farmer's contributions have shaped their own research (representing two generations of scholars), praxis, and the training of students.

两代医学人类学家对保罗·法默贡献的思考
保罗·法默是一位医生和人类学家,他倡导社会正义和全人类的健康权。他与卫生伙伴的同事合作,为当地提供者和利益攸关方参与的社区参与式卫生保健奠定了基础。他被描述为全球公共卫生领域的标志性人物和真正的人道主义者,因为他为减少世界各地的卫生不平等作出了不懈的努力。他在应对海地和其他地方的艾滋病毒/艾滋病危机、耐多药结核病、埃博拉病毒以及最近的COVID-19等紧迫卫生问题方面发挥的领导作用,受到了从世界各国领导人到受这些可怕疾病影响儿童的父母等所有人的赞扬。法默还启发了许多人类学家,认为社会公正是消除健康不平等的最佳途径。在这里,Himmelgreen等人反思了法默的贡献如何影响了他们自己的研究(代表了两代学者)、实践和学生的培养。
