Dr. Paul Farmer on "Haiti After the Earthquake" with Dr. Jon La Pook. Part 4

Dr. Jon LaPook, medical correspondent with CBS news was the event moderator, and used the metaphor of Haiti as a "patient" to ask Dr. Farmer about his new book and his work in Haiti with the organization he co-founded almost 25 years ago, Partners In Health. Dr. Farmer discussed what he views as the two big challenges of relief and reconstruction: helping individuals in need; and at the same time, building up public health, public education, and other systems that help everyone -- a term he calls, "accompaniment."
