WHO confirms first case of new mpox strain outside of Africa as outbreak spreads
(FILES) This file photo taken on August 16, 2022 shows a patient showing his hand with a sore caused by an infection of the monkeypox virus, in the isolation area for monkeypox patients at the Arzobispo Loayza hospital, in Lima, Peru. Shares of the pharmaceutical laboratories of Bavarian Nordic in Denmark, which manufactures a specific vaccine against the mpox, jumped up on August 15, 2024 following the decision of the World Organization of Health WHO to consider the resurgence of monkeypox cases together with an urgent need for health care in the world. A surging mpox outbreak in Africa, which was declared an emergency by the continent's health agency on August 13, is being driven by a new, more transmissible strain of the virus. The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) declared its first-ever Public Health Emergency of Continental Security (PHECS) for the deadly disease.

FILE - Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization, speaks during a news conference at WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, on Dec. 14, 2022. A confidential U.N. report into the alleged missteps by senior World Health Organization in the way they handled a sexual misconduct case during an Ebola outbreak in Congo found their response did not violate the agency’s policies because of what some officials described as a “loophole.” The report, which was submitted to WHO Director-General Ghebreyesus on Jan. 2023, and was not released publicly, was obtained by the Associated Press.
