Jean Kaseya, the director general of the Africa CDC, emphasized the need for a collective and collaborative approach to curb the spread of the disease, stating, 'This is a major alarm for the world. We are losing the youth in Africa.'
The leader of the World Health Organization expressed the consideration of declaring an international health emergency in response to the Mpox outbreak, with the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issuing an alert for heightened vigilance.
Cases of Mpox have increased by 160%, with deaths rising by 19%, while the disease has spread beyond the Democratic Republic of Congo to other African countries like Kenya and the Ivory Coast.
The World Health Organization and various health authorities are closely monitoring the situation, highlighting the urgent need for global cooperation and swift action to contain the growing Mpox outbreak.
