Health experts are warning against complacency, urging continued vigilance even as the mpox outbreak remains contained, with concerns that the virus could still spread more widely.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared mpox a public health emergency of international concern due to its rapid spread in several African countries.
Localities must intensify surveillance at entry points and healthcare facilities, integrating these efforts with ongoing HIV/AIDS prevention, particularly in gynaecology, dermatology and related health services.
Theo Tổ chức Y tế Thế giới, Cộng hòa Dân chủ Congo đã báo cáo hơn 4.500 trường hợp nghi ngờ mắc bệnh mpox và gần 300 trường hợp tử vong kể từ tháng 1, tăng gần gấp ba lần so với cùng kỳ năm ngoái.
