Concern Grows Over Mpox Outbreaks Amid Mixed Progress in Africa
Despite reports indicating a significant 58% drop in Mpox cases across Africa, the Africa CDC warns that new outbreaks are emerging, raising alarms about the ongoing threat. As the death toll surpasses 1,900, particularly in regions like Kenya where infections have risen, health organizations stress the need for better diagnostics and increased funding. Vaccination efforts continue to face challenges, yet there are some successes noted in the response to the Mpox crisis. The situation remains complex as the continent grapples with the resilient nature of the virus.
