The World Health Organization has declared a new global public health emergency for mpox, with cases rising sharply in the Congo, particularly affecting vulnerable populations like children.
Despite rich nations having the resources and technology, they have failed to provide adequate support and vaccine supplies to African countries, where mpox has persisted and escalated.
Clade I of the mpox virus, which has a staggering fatality rate of 3%-6%, is now spreading beyond Congo, raising alarms as it reaches more urban areas and neighboring countries.
The African Union’s health agency has reported a dire shortfall in vaccine supplies, with only 200,000 doses available against a need for 10 million to tackle the crisis.
