An epidemic of mpox began in Africa in September 2023. As of August 2024, more than 17,000 cases have been reported with over 500 deaths.[2]

On 14 August 2024, the World Health Organization named the epidemic a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC).[3]

Background

In May 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that mpox (Monkeypox) was a global health emergency. The disease had infected 87,000 people and caused 140 deaths when the WHO ended its global emergency the following year.[4]

The disease came back in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) by January 2024.[5] In April of the same year, a subgroup of clade I of mpox was found in a small mining town in the Democratic Republic of Congo.[6]

In August 2024, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (ACDC) said that spreading mpox outbreaks in Africa had become a public health emergency, with over 500 deaths being reported.[7]

Outbreak

On 30 July 2024, the Central African Republic found an outbreak of mpox in Bangui, after a period of time when the disease was mostly found in rural areas.[8]

On 15 August 2024, Sweden's Public Health Agency reported the first case outside of Africa, was from a person who had gotten sick with Clade 1 mpox during a stay in an area of Africa.[9][10][11] That same day, a suspected case of mpox was reported in the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa which was later confirmed to be an actual case of mpox.[12]

On 19 August 2024, the Congolese government launched a response plan of forty-nine million dollars, for awareness raising, deployment of teams and care of patients and awaits additional doses of vaccines.[13]
