Mpox Spreads in Africa, Health Officials Warn
Cases Surge by 160, Vaccines Lacking
"Africa lacks effective treatments or vaccines for the viral disease," officials say.
African health officials are warning of a surge in mpox cases, with 160 reported so far this year. They note that a deadlier form of the disease has spread beyond Africa's borders and express concern about the risk of further spread. Officials emphasize that Africa lacks effective treatments or vaccines for the viral disease.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is considering whether to declare an international public health emergency. Kenya and the Central African Republic have declared new outbreaks as health officials race to contain the spread of mpox.
