Africa’s public health landscape is again at the centre of global health attention with a series of actions now in play to stem the spread of mpox. Last week, the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention officially declared mpox a public health emergency of continental security.

This was expected to be historic since this is the first time that Africa CDC would be making such a declaration, and it will be the second time in two years that the WHO would be declaring mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC).

The conversation also touched on the need to prioritize health in national budgets and the role of civil society in holding governments accountable.
