Mpox, WHO

A World Health Organization (WHO) official today stressed that mpox, regardless of whether it is the new or the old strain of the disease, is not the new covid as authorities know how to control its spread.

"We can and must tackle mpox together," said Hans Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe, during a press briefing.

“So will we choose to put in place the systems to control and eradicate mpox globally, or will we enter another cycle of panic and negligence? The way we respond now and in the coming years will be a critical test for Europe and the world," he stressed.
