🚨 🤒 Surveillance continues over #Mpox (formerly #Monkeypox) due to the ongoing risk of new #outbreaks. The disease was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the #WHO in 2022, with over 80,000 reported cases outside the traditional African regions where the disease is endemic. Explore how our European consortium, MPX-RESPONSE (HE -funded project), is addressing this challenge: - 👩⚕️ For health care professionals: understand disease transmission patterns and clinical outcomes to develop prevention and management strategies. - 💊 For patients: validate a treatment through 3 trials based on a WHO CORE protocol to assess the safety and efficacy of an existing antiviral. - 🏛 For policy-makers and regulators: enhance pandemic preparedness through coordination of clinical trials, maximizing patient inclusion for high-powered studies at reasonable costs and speed .

It's still not too late to register for today's webinar! Join us for a deep-dive into the ongoing global outbreak, and why global action is urgently needed to control it. 🌎 #MPox #PublicHealth #InfectiousDiseases #GlobalHealth #HealthSecurity #HealthEquity #DiseasePrevention #OneHealth
In our continuing series of support for the rapidly evolving mpox situation, we invite you to join our webinar next Thursday for an eye-opening discussion on the hidden scale of this outbreak and its global implications. Hosted by our Founder and CEO, Dr. Kamran Khan, and Sr. Epidemiologist, Anindita Marwah, MPH, we’ll explore how this Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) differs from the 2022 global mpox clade II PHEIC, the challenges in containment, and the need for stronger surveillance efforts worldwide. Key discussion points include: 👉 The outbreak is far more extensive than reported, with underestimated international spread. 👉 The virus spreads through multiple contact modes, posing risks to vulnerable groups, including children. 👉 Immediate global action is crucial to control this escalating crisis.
