Mpox in Africa – A Crisis We Can’t Ignore


Image Source: Reuters


We are excited to share the publication of a new article on PLOS Global Public Health titled "Mpox: Neglect has led to a more dangerous virus now spreading across borders, harming and killing people. Leaders must take action to stop mpox now." 


The article discusses the neglect of endemic mpox in Africa and the severe consequences of limited access to vaccines, treatments, and funding. It calls on global health leaders to prioritize these outbreaks, address health inequities, and ensure that affected communities receive the resources they need to stop the spread and prevent further loss of life.


You can read the full article below or on PLOS Global Public Health.
