The World Health Organization (WHO) has just declared the upsurge of mpox in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and several other African countries a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). As an international community, we must support the immediate scale up of response and ensure equitable access to vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics and other tools. Together, we can make a difference in combating this mpox outbreak and strengthening global health security.
Director General at World Health Organization
In light of the spread of #mpox outside #DRC, and the potential for further international spread within and outside Africa, I have decided to convene an Emergency Committee under the International Health Regulations to advise me on whether the outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern. The committee will meet as soon as possible and will be made up of independent experts from a range of relevant disciplines from around the world.
