WHO Declares Mpox Outbreak a Global Health Emergency The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the mpox outbreak a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), its highest level of alarm under international health law. This decision comes after a meeting of independent experts who advised WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on the severity of the outbreak.

I have accepted that advice.” A PHEIC is a designation given by the WHO to "extraordinary events" that pose a public health risk to other countries through the international spread of disease. Such outbreak...
