\nFarmer began his lifelong commitment to the health of the people of Haiti in 1983, and after founding Partners in Health in 1987, the initial clinic he established grew into a multi-service health complex that includes a primary school, an infirmary, a surgery wing, a training program for health outreach workers, a 104-bed hospital, a women\u2019s clinic and a pediatric care facility. Partners in Health subsequently expanded its operations to 12 sites in Haiti and into 12 additional countries around the world, becoming an international model for providing health care to poor communities.<\/p>\n


\nFarmer is the recipient of the Margaret Mead Award from the American Anthropological Association, the Outstanding International Physician Award from the American Medical Association, the Hilton Humanitarian Prize, and a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship. He is chair of the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School and chief of the Division of Global Health Equity at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital in Boston. He has written extensively on health, human rights, and the consequences of social inequality, including Partner to the Poor, Pathologies of Power: Health, Human Rights and the New War on the Poor, and AIDS and Accusation: Haiti and the Geography of Blame.<\/p>\n


\nThe final two colloquium speakers are Michael Fine, director of the Rhode Island Department of Health, on Nov. 27, and Unni Karanukara, international president of Doctors Without Borders, on Dec. 10. The medical musical comedy, Damaged Care, will be performed on Dec. 4. <\/p>\n
