In declaring PHEIC, Dr Tedros said, "Emergence of a new #clade of mpox, its rapid spread in eastern #DRC, & reporting of cases in several neighbouring countries are very worrying. On top of outbreaks of other mpox clades in DRC & other countries in #Africa, it’s clear that a coordinated #international response is needed to stop these outbreaks and save lives.”

Based on current #situation regarding #WPV1 and #cVDPVs, and #reports provided by affected countries, the Director-General accepted Committee’s assessment & on 12 continues to constitute a #PHEIC with respect to WPV1 and cVDPV.

Since beginning of this year, #DRC has been experiencing a severe #outbreak of #Mpox, with more than 14 000 reported cases and 511 deaths... I have decided to convene an #Emergency #Committee under the #IHR to advise me on whether outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern {#PHEIC}.
