So far, 1400 suspected cases and 66 deaths of Monkeypox have been reported in Africa this year.
The disease has been a major concern for years in West and Central Africa, but some cases of the disease have been reported in Europe. Dr Ghebreyesus says they are monitoring these cases. “We need to do potency testing on vaccines but we don’t have numbers yet, we need to anticipate what is important to prevent amplification of cases, we need to use our tools and ensure that there’s no spread.”“At the moment, cases that have been reported are primarily non-endemic setting, among primarily men who have sex with men. There are few cases of women not that many there’s still an opportunity to prevent onward spread,” Lewis adds.
