欧美文化:Africa CDC declares mpox public health emergency of continental security
ADDIS ABABA, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) -- The Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) on Tuesday declared the ongoing mpox outbreak in Africa as a Public Health Emergency of Continental Security (PHECS).
Africa CDC Director-General Jean Kaseya, while addressing a special online media briefing on the multi-country mpox outbreak in Africa, made the declaration of PHECS, and expressed concern over the rapid spread of the disease, mainly from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to its neighboring countries.
According to the Africa CDC chief, the declaration will contribute to a greater mobilization of resources while also strengthening the international notification mechanism as the declaration will obligate AU member states to notify the Africa CDC of any health measures implemented in response to the emergency. It is also expected to increase funding, and resource mobilization against the outbreak.
