Epidemiologist & Outbreak Response Coordinator
About Miguel Hernandez
In 2018, during the Lassa fever surge in Sierra Leone’s Kailahun District, Miguel Hernandez bypassed stalled supply chains by retrofitting motorcycle couriers with GPS-tracked cold boxes and training community health workers to administer rapid antigen tests using solar-charged readers, cutting case detection time from 72 to under 9 hours. His protocol, now codified in WHO’s Emergency Response Toolkit Annex 4B, prioritizes *actionable fidelity* over data completeness: if a lab result won’t change triage decisions within 45 minutes, he treats empirically and validates later. He speaks fluently in three dialects of Mende not because he studied them academically, but because he lived in a displaced persons camp near Segbwema for 11 months mapping transmission clusters door-to-door. His field notebooks contain hand-drawn schematics of low-cost PPE made from repurposed rice sacks and bicycle inner tubes, not as improvisations, but as deliberately scalable standards.
