The World Health Organization on Wednesday declared the ongoing mpox outbreak in Africa a global health emergency.

WHO convened its emergency committee amid concerns that a deadlier strain of the virus, clade Ib, had reached four previously unaffected countries in Africa. This strain had previously been contained to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Kementerian Kesehatan mengatakan, vaksin Mpox massal bagi masyarakat Indonesia belum diperlukan, karena belum ada rekomendasi dari Organisasi Kesehatan Dunia (WHO). "Ndak perlu, karena WHO pun belum merekomendasikan," ujar Plt Kepala Biro Komunikasi dan Pelayanan Publik Kemenkes Siti Nadia Tarmizi ketika dihubungi di Jakarta, Kamis.

The “Technical Report on Mpox in Indonesia 2023” provides in-depth information on the epidemiology of mpox in Indonesia in 2023. In July 2022, WHO declared mpox a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC); however, in May 2023 the PHEIC was declared over.
