The 2022 mpox outbreak has taught public health authorities a lot about the value of working with communities on important areas like testing, vaccination, and risk communication. Lessons that can be applied to other disease outbreaks.
Mpox is back in the news; there are sporadic clusters of cases in our region, and, in Central and West Africa, two strains of the virus continue to cause suffering and death.
In this episode, we speak to Rosamund Lewis, Emergency Manager & Technical Lead for the global mpox response at WHO Headquarters, about the current situation. Cristiana Salvi, who leads the Risk Communication and Community Engagement unit for WHO regional Office for Europe explains the importance of community insights in the mpox response. We also hear from epidemiologist Mateo Prochaska Nunez on the combination of factors that brought the outbreak under control and the measures needed to keep the virus in check.
