Where the foci are.
In malaria work, a focus is a place with active transmission. Scroll and the field goes quiet - a design metaphor for the operational job of finding and closing transmission.

Active foci8
The field behind this section is illustrative. It is not case data from Pedernales.
I work where the cases are.
I qualified in medicine at the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo and spent 2020 and 2021 as a general practitioner in the national health service. From 2022 to 2025 I coordinated malaria focus management for IREM in Pedernales - the operational work of finding transmission and closing it.
That means strengthening the operational structure of the malaria programme at the local level: the strategies and instruments that let a team manage foci with active transmission, week after week, until there are none.
