Ophelia Dahl

Ophelia Dahl has been advocating for the health and rights of poor people for nearly 30 years. In 1983, she volunteered at the small Eye Care Haiti clinic in Haiti’s Central Plateau. There she met Paul Farmer, and they have been working ever since to deliver high-quality health care to the destitute sick. Dahl helped co-found Partners In Health, led the organization as executive director for 16 years, and now chairs its Board of Directors. She helps lead the Roald Dahl Literary Estate, which manages the works of her late father, the writer Roald Dahl.
