Lessons that can be applied to other disease outbreaks. Recently, Mpox hasn't been in the headlines so much, but it certainly hasn't gone away; 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.         Media contacts: mediainquiries@who.int   You are receiving this NO-REPLY email because you are included on a WHO mail list.
