Paul Farmer changed the way health care is delivered in the most impoverished places on Earth. He saw every day as a new opportunity to teach, learn, give, and serve—and it was impossible to spend any time with him and not feel the same.

Devastating news. Paul Farmer gave everything—everything—to others. He saw the worst, and yet did all he could to bring out the best in everyone he encountered. Indefatigable, mischievous, generous, brilliant, soulful, skeptical, idealistic, beloved. A giant. https://t.co/x4Ug2KGGq7

Paul Farmer was a hero to all of us who try to dedicate our skills to the service of others. From the early days of the Haiti earthquake, Paul provided many lessons that helped me make @WCKitchen who we are today. His brilliance was only matched by his empathy. I miss him already https://t.co/HahrJrJKLd

What a huge, huge loss. Paul Farmer saved lives on a huge scale. He was selfless, brilliant, funny, sweet and compassionate. He created @PIH one of the most effective organizations ever combating disease world wide. My heart goes out to his friends and beautiful family. https://t.co/tVHERCQSS7

Such a shocking, devastating loss. Paul Farmer transformed the delivery of medical and other essential services to needy people everywhere. His genius was to make compassion tangible and to treat people not as assemblages of parts but as integrated wholeshttps://t.co/UP7qaMRknQ

Dr. Paul Farmer was a hero of global health and a model human being. He was a longtime friend and someone I hugely admired for his work fighting AIDS, TB and more, from Haiti to Rwanda. He also inspired so many young people to work on global health. The world weeps. RIP, Paul. https://t.co/ND6L8yAZoe

I am devastated by the loss of Paul Farmer—a friend, mentor, and unparalleled visionary for global public health. Countless people are alive because of his investment in public health infrastructure, in direct care delivery, and in selflessly training others to do the same.

What a devastating loss. Paul is a hero, and I was fortunate to call him a friend. I have never known anyone who was more passionate about reducing the world’s worst inequities in health—or who did more to live by his values. https://t.co/8PWPdGHe7A
