Monkeypox is likely to be declared an emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO), which has so far affected 2,821 people in both endemic and non-endemic countries. Monkeypox has spread to 39 countries like America, Canada, Mexico, India, Australia, Europe, the UK, and Brazil. The World Health Organization will convene an emergency committee on Thursday next week to assess whether the monkeypox outbreak is a public health emergency of international concern, given the rising number of cases.
The highest level warnings by the global health body currently only apply to the COVID-19 pandemic, polio, and Ebola. The UN health agency will convene an emergency committee meeting next week to assess whether the recent monkeypox outbreak is a public health emergency.

For this reason, I have decided to convene the Emergency Committee under International Health Regulations next week to assess whether this outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern.
