WHO says mpox remains public health emergency of international concern
Briefly

The World Health Organization (WHO) states it will maintain its highest alert for mpox due to a surge in cases and their geographic spread.
A WHO committee's decision to keep the alert level high was influenced by rising mpox cases, operational challenges, and the need for a cohesive response.
The African Union’s health watchdog urged increased resources to prevent a potential pandemic from mpox, cautioning it could become more severe than COVID-19.
Vaccination efforts showed promise in containing mpox, but the WHO awaits substantial proof before confirming their effectiveness in curbing outbreaks.
