Paul Farmer stands in the heart of Mountains Beyond Mountains. Raised in a bus and on a boat, Farmer is a doctor, Harvard professor, world-class Robin Hood, infectious disease expert, anthropologist, and recipient of a MacArthur "genius" grant. During medical school, he discovered his calling: to diagnose and treat infectious diseases and to provide the most life-saving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most.
In Mountains Beyond Mountains, Farmer transforms attitudes and behaviors via his commitment to the idea that "the only real nation is humanity"—a belief that is represented in the modest public charity he created, Partners in Health—taking us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia. In his endeavor to heal the globe, he enlists the aid of the Gates Foundation, George Soros, the globe Health Organization of the United Nations, and others. The central theme of this book is the illustration of a life grounded in optimism and the realization that the Haitian saying "Beyond mountains there are mountains" is true: as you work through one issue, another one arises, and you must continue to strive to resolve it.
