Épidémie de variole du mouton

Despite the recent determination of the WHO Director-General that the mpox multicounty outbreak no longer constitutes a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), mpox continues to circulate, especially in Africa where over 90% of cases are reported and where it remains a Public Health Emergency of Continental Security (PHECS). Vulnerable groups, particularly children, pregnant women and people living with HIV, continue to face higher risks for severe disease and death. Yet response efforts face numerous operational challenges. Attention to including social, political and contextual evidence across pillars of the emergency response can assist in addressing these challenges.
