The World Health Organization's declaration of mpox as a public health emergency aims to prompt global action, increasing access to vital resources amid rising cases in Africa.
"It's clear that current control strategies aren't working... If a global emergency declaration is the mechanism to unlock these things, then it is warranted," stated Michael Marks.
Dr. Jean Kaseya emphasized the importance of mobilizing resources quickly, urging international partners for assistance to combat the ignored escalating cases in Africa.
The WHO's emergency declaration seeks to accelerate testing, vaccine access, and treatment to help mitigate the mpox outbreak, highlighting the need to combat stigma.
