In this enlightening discussion, Dr. Jean Claude Udahemuka from the University of Rwanda and Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa, tackle the alarming rise of Mpox in East Africa, declaring it a public health emergency. They highlight over 14,000 cases, especially in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the critical need for a global response. The dire vaccine shortage is a key issue, with only 200,000 doses available versus the required 10 million. The guests emphasize proactive measures, community involvement, and the importance of international collaboration to combat this health crisis.
