Mpox health emergency in Africa
With a one hundred and sixty percent increase in fatalities compared to 2023 health authorities have reportedly declared a health emergency caused by monkeypox (mpox) across the African continent calling for concrete action for greater support from the world as the zoonosis is spreading through sexual intercourse or close contact. Concern rises by monitoring the daily situation and the sending of ten million doses of vaccines is requested and there are fears given the pace of spread that it could also affect the whole world, so accurate surveillance of any cases that could go unnoticed with adequate isolation is necessary, then it must be considered that in an interconnected world it could only be a matter of time for the virus to spread as happened for example for the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
