Dr. Paul Farmer, Dr. Jim Yong Kim, and George Q. DaleyOn September 19, 2017, hundreds of faculty, students, and staff from the Harvard Medical School community assembled in the auditorium of the Joseph B. Martin Conference Center to watch a pre-screening of, Bending the Arc, with many more in the Atrium huddled around a monitor to watch. The humble, heart wrenching, and often emotional beginnings of what would become Partners In Health, captivated the audience for nearly two hours. What followed was a candid question and answer session with Dr. Paul Farmer, Kolokotrones University Professor, Harvard University and Dr. Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group moderated by George Q. Daley, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Harvard Medical School.
