The UN warned that the COVID-19 pandemic is still a cause for global concern, and outbreaks of cholera, Ebola and Monkeypox (now renamed mpox) led to the mobilization of health and aid workers to contain life-threatening illnesses. The UN warned that the aim of eradicating HIV/AIDS by 2030 was under threat, but a new vaccine raised hopes that malaria can be beaten.
To complete the process, please follow the instructions in the email we just sent you.However, with global cases growing, WHOin July that mpox qualified as a"global health emergency of international concern". Tedros stressed that, because the virus was concentrated among men who have sex with men, especially those with multiple sexual partners, the outbreak could be stopped,"with the right strategies in the right groups".
A senior WHO official observed, in August, that the international community only became interested in mpox once infections grew in the developed world.in August that"we have been working on mpox in Africa for several years, but nobody was interested".that they would henceforth refer to Monkeypox as mpox, citing reports of racist and stigmatizing language surrounding the name of the disease.
Malaria remains one of the biggest killers of children under five: in 2020, nearly half a million boys and girls died from the disease in Africa alone, a rate of one death every minute. "This is a giant step forward in our collective efforts to save children's lives and reduce the burden of malaria as part of wider malaria prevention and control programmes", said Etleva Kadilli, Director of UNICEF's Supply Division.
Plans are already underway to boost production, including through technology transfer, UNICEF added,"so that every child at risk will one day have the opportunity to be immunized against this killer disease".
