Mpox patients receive treatment in Munigi

Patients suffering from mpox wait to receive treatment at the Munigi Health Centre in Munigi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, August 19, 2024.

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global health emergency in response to the latest outbreak of mpox (monkeypox) in the Democratic Republic of Congo and other countries in Africa. Mpox, whose symptoms include fever, rash, lesions on all parts of the body, severe headaches, and fatigue, could lead to sepsis in severe cases, a life-threatening response to infection.

Additionally, some children develop respiratory problems, have difficulty swallowing, and are at higher risk for secondary bacterial infections.
