GENEVA, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- The spread of mpox (monkeypox) in Africa no longer represents a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), said the World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday.
WHO's Emergency Committee has met every three months to evaluate the outbreak of mpox. "Yesterday, they met again and advised me that in their view, the situation no longer represents an international health emergency. I have accepted that advice." said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in the media briefing on Friday.
