The World Health Organisation, WHO, says it needs 87.4 million dollars for more than six months to work with countries, partners and other stakeholders to contain the current outbreak of Mpox.
The world health body in a statement on Tuesday said the fund would be used to implement critical activities outlined in the global Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan, SPRP, released on Aug. 26.
It stated that “the SPRP is a comprehensive framework developed by WHO to guide global response to Mpox, emphasizing surveillance, research, equitable access to medical countermeasures and community empowerment.
