WHO declares mpox global health emergency

[JANASENA]

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the mpox outbreak in parts of Africa a public health emergency of international concern.

The highly contagious disease - formerly known as monkeypox - has killed at least 450 people during an initial outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

It has now spread across parts of central and east Africa, and scientists are concerned about how fast a new variant of the disease is spreading and its high fatality rate.

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the potential for further spread within Africa and beyond "is very worrying".

 

"A co-ordinated international response is essential to stop this outbreak and save lives," he said.

Mpox is transmitted through close contact, such as sex, skin-to-skin contact and talking or breathing close to another person.

It causes flu-like symptoms, skin lesions and can be fatal, with four in 100 cases leading to death.

Outbreaks can be controlled by preventing infections with vaccines, though these are usually only available for people at risk or those who have been in close contact with an infected person.

There are two main types of mpox - Clade 1 and Clade 2.

A previous mpox public health emergency, declared in 2022, was caused by the relatively mild Clade 2. However, this time it is the far more deadly Clade 1 - which has killed up to 10% of those getting sick in previous outbreaks - that is surging.

There was a change in the virus around September last year. Mutations led to an offshoot - called Clade 1b - that has since spread rapidly. This new variant has been labelled “the most dangerous yet” by one scientist.

Since the start of the year, there have been more than 13,700 cases of mpox in the DR Congo, with at least 450 deaths.

It has since been detected in other African countries - including Burundi, the Central African Republic, Kenya and Rwanda.

It is hoped the declaration of mpox as a public health emergency will lead to research, funding, and the introduction of other international public health measures being accelerated.

Dr Josie Golding, from the Wellcome Trust, said it was a "strong signal", while Emory University's Dr Boghuma Titanji said the move "underscores the gravity of the crisis".

Prof Trudie Lang, the director of the Global Health Network at the University of Oxford, said it was "important and timely", but added that the emergence of a new strain meant there were "many unknowns that need to be addressed".

In July 2022 the milder Clade 2 strain of mpox spread to nearly 100 countries, including some in Europe and Asia.

It spread rapidly, and there were more than 87,000 cases and 140 deaths reported during that outbreak, according to a WHO count.

Although anyone can catch monkeypox, the outbreak was largely concentrated among men who had sex with men.

That outbreak was brought under control by vaccinating vulnerable groups.

On Tuesday, scientists from the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention declared a public health emergency.

The head of the organisation, Jean Kaseya, warned that this current outbreak could spiral out of control if immediate steps were not taken to contain it.

"We must be proactive and aggressive in our efforts to contain and eliminate this threat," he said.

ప్రపంచవ్యాప్తంగా మంకీపాక్స్ (ఎంపాక్స్) కేసులు ఉనికిని చాటుకుంటున్న నేపథ్యంలో, కేంద్ర ప్రభుత్వం అప్రమత్తమైంది. ప్రపంచ దేశాల్లో ఎంపాక్స్ కేసుల విస్తృతిని నిశితంగా గమనిస్తున్నామని వెల్లడించింది. ఎంపాక్స్ ను ఎదుర్కొనేందుకు సన్నద్ధంగా ఉన్నామని, నియంత్రణకు అన్ని చర్యలు తీసుకుంటున్నామని కేంద్ర వైద్య ఆరోగ్య శాఖ స్పష్టం చేసింది. భారత్ లో ఎంపాక్స్ కొత్త కేసులేవీ రాలేదని పేర్కొంది. 

ఇవాళ కేంద్ర ఆరోగ్య శాఖ మంత్రి జేపీ నడ్డా అధ్యక్షతన వైద్య ఆరోగ్య శాఖ సమీక్ష సమావేశం జరిగింది. ఎంపాక్స్ ప్రభావం భారత్ లో పెద్దగా లేనప్పటికీ, భారీ ఎత్తున చర్యలు తీసుకోవాలని నడ్డా ఆదేశించారు. 

అన్ని ఎయిర్ పోర్టులు, హార్బర్లు, సరిహద్దుల వద్ద వైద్య బృందాలను ఏర్పాటు చేయాలని, ఎంపాక్స్ ను నిర్ధారించే ల్యాబొరేటరీలను సిద్ధం చేయడం, మంకీపాక్స్ ను గుర్తించడం, ఐసోలేట్ చేయడం, చికిత్స వంటి అంశాలకు తగిన ఏర్పాట్లు చేయాలని దిశానిర్దేశం చేశారు. 

మంకీపాక్స్ ప్రపంచ ముప్పుగా పరిణమించే అవకాశముందని ప్రపంచ ఆరోగ్య  సంస్థ (డబ్ల్యూహెచ్ఓ) హెచ్చరించిన నేపథ్యంలో, కేంద్ర ప్రభుత్వం అప్రమత్తమైంది.

Mpox vs. chickenpoxAlthough they both cause skin rashes, different viruses cause mpox and chickenpox. Mpox is an orthopoxvirus, while chickenpox is a herpes virus. Both viruses can spred through skin-to-skin or prolonged face-to-face contact, but chickenpox is very contagious and spreads more easily than mpox.
