The World Health Organization has declared a public health emergency regarding mpox, due to a new, severe variant emerging in the DRC with a rising death toll.
Since January, 479 deaths have been reported in the DRC due to clade 1b of mpox. Neighboring countries are beginning to see cases, highlighting a regional concern.
The transmission of clade 1b has primarily been linked to sexual encounters, especially among sex workers in affected areas, necessitating targeted public health responses.
