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 resolution honors Dr. Paul Farmer's legacy by calling on the U.S. Federal Government to adopt a new global health strategy focused on ending preventable deaths in low-income countries. It proposes concrete actions including increasing annual health funding to $125 billion (to meet international aid targets), supporting health systems through Dr. Farmer's "Five S's" framework (staff, infrastructure, medical tools, governance, and community support), and addressing economic harms like unfair debt and tax evasion that hinder health financing. The resolution specifically targets low- and lower-middle-income countries where health systems face critical resource gaps, citing data showing decades-long delays in reducing mortality rates. It emphasizes aligning aid with national health plans and ensuring medical technologies become global public goods, without proposing binding legislation.
