#WHO #DG declares #mpox #outbreak a public #health #emergency of international concern {#PHEIC}, who.int/news/item/14-08-2024-w

In declaring PHEIC, Dr Tedros said, "Emergence of a new #clade of mpox, its rapid spread in eastern #DRC, & reporting of cases in several neighbouring countries are very worrying. On top of outbreaks of other mpox clades in DRC & other countries in #Africa, it’s clear that a coordinated #international response is needed to stop these outbreaks and save lives.”

www.who.intWHO Director-General declares mpox outbreak a public health emergency of international concernWHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has determined that the upsurge of mpox in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and a growing number of countries in Africa constitutes a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) under the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR).

WHO has just declared the rise in #mpox cases a public health emergency of international concern (#PHEIC). "The detection and rapid spread of a new clade of mpox in eastern DRC, its detection in neighboring countries that had not previously reported mpox, and the potential for further spread within Africa and beyond is very worrying",
WHO's director general Tedros said in the presser just now.

>17k suspected #mpox cases & 517 deaths have been reported on the African continent so far this year, a 160% increase in cases compared to the same period last year, the #Africa #CDC said. A total of 13 countries have reported cases.

A different form of the mpox virus — clade llb - spread globally in 2022, largely through sexual contact….This prompted the #WHO to declare a #PublicHealth emergency then, which it ended 10 months later.

Determining a disease #outbreak as a "#PublicHealth emergency of international concern" or #PHEIC - the WHO's highest level of #alert — can accelerate #research, #funding & #international public health measures & co-operation to contain a #disease.

The outbreak in #Congo began w/the spread of an #endemic strain, known as #cladeI. But a new variant, #cladeIb, appears to spread more easily through routine close contact, including sexual contact.
