Global Day of Action

Honoring Dr. Paul Farmer

Everyone who knew of Dr. Paul Farmer knows that he believed in taking action. We hope to celebrate and honor Paul—and the vision he inspired through Partners In Health— each year by coming together on his birthday, October 26, and using this time to recommit to our work and to focus our efforts to drive forward our collective vision for health equity.​

Global Day of Action events are a significant campaign peak designed to harness the power your team builds throughout the fall as a community. These events are a moment for PIH Engage teams and PIH nurses, doctors, researchers, and other staff across the world to come together with a shared purpose of taking action to advance the movement for the right to health. GDOA events serve as a “peak,” building concentrated momentum toward one or more of your campaign goals, while serving as an opportunity to strengthen your team’s connection with PIHers across the globe.​
