A coalition of Civil Society Organisations has criticised the World Health Organisation’s declaration of Mpox as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).
Edet Williams, a member of the coalition under the aegis of Equity International Initiative, spoke on Monday during a press conference in Ikeja, Lagos. The press conference was themed “The WHO Declaration of MPOX as a Global Health Crisis: A Civil Society Response.”
Mpox is a rare viral zoonotic infectious disease most prevalent in Africa.
