from Policy and Rights · host Michael Clogs
A month ago, I convened the Emergency Committee under the International Health Regulations to assess whether the multi-country monkeypox outbreak represented a public health emergency of international concern.At that meeting, while differing views were expressed, the committee resolved by consensus that the outbreak did not represent a public health emergency of international concern.At the time, 3040 cases of monkeypox had been reported to WHO, from 47 countries.Since then, the outbreak has continued to grow, and there are now more than 16 thousand reported cases from 75 countries and territories, and five deaths.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.
