About Danny Sinyange
Danny Sinyange is a Public Health Specialist and Field Epidemiologist at the Zambia National Public Health Institute, where he works within the Public Health Emergency Operations Centre. A leading contributor to Zambia’s 7-1-7 implementation, he brings a solutions-oriented, data-driven approach to strengthening outbreak detection, notification, and response—collaborating with partners including Resolve to Save Lives, Africa CDC, WHO, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to advance resilient, performance-driven public health systems.
Why he’s nominated:
Danny Sinyange’s innovative spirit and technical expertise have set him apart in the 7‑1‑7 community. He developed an automated quarterly reporting system—transforming a time-intensive manual process into a streamlined, reliable tool that strengthens Zambia’s ability to monitor and respond to outbreaks. This is precisely the kind of fresh, solutions-oriented thinking that the next generation of outbreak response needs. Additionally, his leadership in rolling out ZEBRA, an outbreak surveillance system incorporating 7-1-7, within the Zambia public health emergency operations center is bringing the target even closer to decision-makers for outbreak response.
