The World Health Organization has decided to extend the classification of Mpox as a public health emergency of international concern, citing a significant increase in cases, especially in West Africa. The decision was made following a recommendation from the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee on Mpox, which convened recently to discuss the situation.
The committee's recommendation was influenced by the continuous surge in case numbers, particularly in West Africa, and the ongoing presence of undetected transmission in some countries beyond Africa.
