The Preferential Option for the Poor: Paul Farmer's Revolutionary Idea

Dive deep into the extraordinary life and work of Dr. Paul Farmer, a physician and anthropologist who revolutionized global health. This video goes beyond the typical image of hospitals and doctors, exploring Farmer's core philosophies: the "preferential option for the poor," "structural violence," and "accompaniment." Learn how he challenged the medical establishment, fought for health equity, and proved that treating even the most complex diseases in the poorest communities is not only possible but morally imperative. Discover the "O for P" (Outcomes for Patients) and how Farmer's relentless focus on results changed global health policy. We'll unpack the systemic forces that create and perpetuate disease, and explore how Farmer's legacy continues to inspire a new generation of health activists. This isn't just about medicine; it's about justice, power, and the fight for a healthier world for all.
