In May 2022, the UK announced its first recorded case of monkey pox and almost immediately, another public health alert hit the airwaves.Although monkeypox does not present same scenario as the coronavirus, experts say it is mutating faster than expected which is what has called for urgent concern. It is an uncommon disease caused by contamination with the monkeypox virus. It is part of the same family of viruses that causes smallpox, which is the variola virus, shares similar symptoms with smallpox but it is less severe and rarely fatal.
Monkeypox is nothing new, and the virus is endemic in several countries, but when cases started appearing beyond the expected places and among people who didn’t travel to those regions, researchers paid attention . In May 2022, multiple cases of monkeypox were identified in several non-endemic countries. As of July 2022, there has been a total number of 14,511 confirmed cases of monkeypox reported across 70 different locations.
Therefore, to further demystify monkeypox and to have a robust perspective on the responses that are in place to mitigate against it, Anadach group is planning a webinar on Thursday, September 8th 2022 at 9.00 am EST/ 1pm UTC to address key issues relating to the ongoing spread including, but not limited to:
• Understanding the global response to monkeypox, and its current limitations
• Current implementation and sustainability of policies and procedures
• Having a truly global response to tackling monkeypox
