Nearly a year after the quake, what does Haiti need now? Dr. Paul Farmer, a founder of Partners in Health and an effective advocate for health care in developing nations around the world, offered up some observations in Foreign Policy. His five lessons are simple, they make complete sense and they're a great reminder that the work in Haiti is so very far from over. What's needed now? Jobs. Good homes. A strong government. As Farmer says, relief is the easy part. Now it's time to rebuild.
