Last month, the World Health Organization declared the nearly yearlong outbreak a “public health emergency of international concern.” Dr. Paul Farmer, a co-founder of Partners in Health, joins us to talk about the Ebola crisis and his group’s work providing free medical care in poor communities around the world.
