00:00Why do 60% of MPOX cases still come from just one country?

00:05What's driving the surge across West Africa?

00:08And why hasn't the WHO dropped its highest level alert?

00:12The WHO's emergency committee just renewed their highest alert for MPOX through August

00:162025.

00:18Cases are climbing, especially in West Africa, with Sierra Leone, Uganda and Burundi reporting

00:24fresh outbreaks.

00:26The Democratic Republic of Congo remains the epicentre, accounting for 60% of confirmed

00:31cases and 40% of deaths globally.

00:35Since late 2023, the clade 1 IB variant has fuelled nearly 30,000 suspected cases and

00:41more than 800 deaths in Africa alone.

00:44Over 25 countries now see ongoing transmission.

00:48What's holding back progress?

00:50Surveillance gaps, limited testing and not enough funding.

00:53The WHO's advice, ramp up political will, boost detection and vaccination, especially

00:59in vulnerable groups.

01:01This isn't about fear, it's about keeping global attention, cooperation and resources

01:06in place.

01:08Until the numbers drop, the world can't let its guard down.

01:12Stay aware, because public health depends on all of us.
