This Week: CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta Interviews Dr. Paul Farmer
Posted on Jun 14, 2017
We’re pleased to announce that Partners In Health will be featured this week in a special CNN multimedia series called “Champions for Change.”
CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta visited Haiti last month to interview Dr. Paul Farmer and profile the work of our staff at University Hospital in Mirebalais. The CNN team spent three days in Haiti, documenting the impact of our efforts in the country’s central region.
In an online essay about the man who inspired him, Gupta writes, “My personal attitudes toward charity and altruism, in part, have been shaped by wanting to live up to the ideals Farmer has shown me, because if pure altruism really does exist in humans, it probably looks a lot like him.”
"Champions for Change” will feature other individuals and organizations, but the segments featuring Dr. Farmer and PIH will air on CNN and CNNgo at these dates and times:
• Wednesday, June 14: 8 a.m. EST
• Thursday, June 15: 9 p.m. EST
• Saturday, June 17: 3 p.m. EST
• Saturday, June 17: 9 p.m. EST (a one-hour show featuring highlights from the series)
