Dr. Paul Farmer was one of many international responders when Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea suffered the worst Ebola virus outbreak in history in 2014. In Fevers, Feuds, and Diamonds, Dr. Farmer tells the harrowing stories of Ebola victims while showing why the medical response was slow and insufficient, as the virus spread exponentially and basic health-care facilities were few and far between. This crisis was a major tragedy of modern medicine. Dr. Paul Farmer, United Nations (UN) Deputy Special Envoy for Haiti and Chair of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard, discusses why it happened, and what the global community can learn from it. This event is presented by North Campus International Education & Global Education Month Committee and is sponsored by the Miami Book Fair and The Humanities Edge. · Join us Online at: https://bit.ly/IRCPaulFarmer · Or Dial In #: 1-571-392-7650 • PIN: 479 192 9625 For more events and information, please visit: https://libraryguides.mdc.edu/IRC2020
