Monkeypox is a rare but potentially fatal disease caused by a virus similar to human smallpox. It is passed down from animals to humans and can be passed from person to person through close contact.
Supportive care is used to treat the disease. In some cases, vaccines and therapeutics developed for smallpox and approved for use in some countries can be used to treat the disease.
The World Health Organisation declared Mpox a global health emergency in July 2022. In November, the organisation remained on high alert.
The disease was renamed mpox in November to replace the older term monkeypox, citing concerns about stigma and racism associated with the name.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
