In response to the escalating mpox outbreak, the World Health Organization (WHO) is ramping up its efforts across Africa.
Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa, emphasized that substantial measures are already in place, with local communities and governments collaborating closely with WHO teams.
WHO Regional Director for Africa, Dr Matshidiso Moeti said, “Significant efforts are already underway in close collaboration with communities and governments, with our country teams working on the frontlines to help reinforce measures to curb mpox.
“With the growing spread of the virus, we’re scaling up further through coordinated international action to support countries bring the outbreaks to an end.”
These teams are actively reinforcing strategies to manage and contain the virus.
As the spread of mpox intensifies, the WHO is scaling up international support to assist African countries in their fight against the outbreak, aiming to bring the situation under control and prevent further spread.
