“The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the ongoing mpox (monkeypox) outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), highlighting its severity and the need for a coordinated global response. The virus has spread to over 70 countries, with significant outbreaks in Africa, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where thousands of children are affected. Recently, Sweden and Pakistan reported cases, indicating the virus’s expansion into new regions.
“The WHO is pushing for increased production of mpox vaccines to address a more virulent strain of the virus. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, and distinctive skin lesions, with transmission occurring through close contact, respiratory droplets, and contaminated surfaces. Efforts to contain the outbreak include calls for international solidarity and financing, especially in Africa where the Africa CDC has also declared a Public Health Emergency.”
