GENEVA: The head of the World Health Organization on Saturday declared the monkeypox outbreak as a global health emergency - the highest alarm it can sound.

"I have decided that the global monkeypox outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. He noted that when he convened the WHO Emergency Committee last month to assess if the outbreak represented a public health emergency of international concern, there were only 3,040 reported cases of monkeypox from 47 countries.

"Since then, the outbreak has continued to grow, and there are now more than 16,000 reported cases from 75 countries and territories, and five deaths," he said. "We have an outbreak that has spread around the world rapidly, through new modes of transmission, about which we understand too little, and which meets the criteria in the International Health Regulations.
