GENEVA (Reuters) – The World Health Organization will convene a meeting of its Emergency Committee next week to determine whether mpox remains a global health crisis, it said in a statement on Monday.
The disease which continues to spread in Africa is currently classified by the U.N. health body as a public health emergency of international concern, which represents the highest form of alert.
