Dr. Matshidiso Moeti emphasizes the rapid spread of mpox beyond Central Africa, warning that children are notably affected in this new wave; she stresses urgent global action is needed.
"The inequities we witnessed during the COVID-19 pandemic are re-emerging with mpox, as many African countries still struggle to access necessary vaccines and health resources," Moeti stated.
Moeti calls for 'stronger global health support and solidarity' to address the present mpox outbreak, highlighting that without it, vulnerable populations, particularly children, are at great risk.
The need for comprehensive international cooperation is crucial, as Dr. Moeti points out; Africa's battle with mpox demonstrates how interconnected our health systems now are globally.
