Monkeypox could be renamed as “MPOX” in a bid to remove any stigma that exists over the virus that has spread in a global outbreak this year, it is reported.
United States officials are believed to have put pressure on the World Health Organisation to change the name and warned they could act unilaterally if no action was taken.
And now the decision to change the name of the virus to MPOX could be made on Wednesday, say three Politico sources.
