Monkeypox spread throughout the Democratic Republic of Congo before spreading to other countries. The Democratic Republic of Congo was where the virus was first detected in humans in 1970.
The World Health Organization (WHO) on August 14 declared a global public health emergency due to monkeypox (mpox) in Africa.
“Today, the expert committee met urgently and informed me that, in their view, this situation constitutes a public health emergency of international concern. I have accepted that advice,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press conference.
Also according to Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the expert committee has made recommendations on the use of mpox vaccines in the near future.
The meeting, which brought together 16 international experts, came after the African Union's (AU) health watchdog declared a continental public health emergency over the rapidly spreading outbreak.
Monkeypox spread throughout the Democratic Republic of Congo before spreading to other countries. The Democratic Republic of Congo was the first place where the monkeypox virus was discovered in humans in 1970.
According to the Africa CDC, from January 2022 to August 4, the continent had 38,465 cases of Mpox and 1,456 deaths.
Affected countries include Burundi, Cameroon, Congo, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa, Uganda and Kenya.
Monkeypox has a wide range of signs and symptoms. Some people have only mild symptoms, while others have more severe symptoms and need medical attention.
People at high risk of severe illness or complications include pregnant women, children, and people with weakened immune systems. Typical symptoms of monkeypox include fever, throbbing headache, muscle aches, back pain, weakness, and increased lymph nodes.
In July 2022, WHO declared monkeypox a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) and reaffirmed this status in November 2022 and February 2023.
In May 2023, WHO lifted the PHEIC for monkeypox. A PHEIC is the highest level of alert that WHO can issue, allowing emergency responses to be triggered by countries around the world under the legally binding International Health Regulations.
