A resolution honoring the life of Dr. Paul Farmer by recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to adopt a 21st century global health solidarity strategy and take actions to address past and ongoing harms that undermine the health and well-being of people around the world.
This Senate resolution (SRES 95) honors Dr. Paul Farmer's legacy and calls for the U.S. Federal Government to adopt a new global health strategy. It specifically urges the government to support developing countries through a "21st century global health solidarity strategy" focused on five key areas: staffing health systems, building infrastructure ("space"), providing medical supplies ("stuff"), strengthening health systems ("systems"), and addressing social needs ("social support"). The resolution recommends increasing annual global health funding to $125 billion to close coverage gaps and addresses economic harms by advocating for debt relief, tax reforms, and fairer global governance. It does not create new laws but expresses the Senate's position on U.S. policy direction.
