The UN Health agency, the World Health Organization said that Monkeypox continues to pose an international public health emergency threat.

After WHO declared the monkeypox outbreak a "public health emergency of international concern" on 23 July 2022, many countries swiftly responded to the outbreak with a series of public health interventions. Whereas the number of new cases globally is declining, the number of new cases on the other hand is still rising in some countries.
