A recent report from the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has revealed a concerning 160% increase in monkeypox cases across the continent over the past year. This spike has raised alarms due to the lack of effective treatments or vaccines available in Africa.
Monkeypox, also known as mpox, has been detected in 10 African countries this year, with Burundi and Rwanda reporting cases for the first time. The Central African Republic confirmed a new outbreak that has reached its capital, Bangui, with region 7 being particularly affected.
