Matshidiso Moeti, the WHO Regional Director for Africa, addresses the continent's ongoing health challenges, including the rise of mpox and the disparities in vaccine distribution.
Once primarily a concern in Central Africa, mpox has now
emerged as a global health threat, particularly impacting children in the

During an interview with Aljazeera, Dr. Moeti emphasizes the urgent need for enhanced global
health support as Africa grapples with limited vaccine access and resources.
