Now that mpox is a global health emergency, will it trigger another pandemic?

By Economic Times - 3 months ago
The World Health Organization has declared the mpox outbreaks in Africa, particularly in Congo, as a global emergency that requires urgent containment measures. Sweden reported its first case of a new form of the virus seen only in Africa. While the likelihood of widespread local outbreaks in Europe is low, imported cases are anticipated. Mpox spreads through close contact and is slower than COVID-19. Despite available vaccines and treatments, Congo struggles with insufficient resources, highlighting the need for global efforts to curb the virus's transmission and support affected regions.
