Show Notes

One year after South Sudan confirmed its first Mpox case, the World Health Organization says the country has made progress in detection, local testing and response, but risks remain. In this episode of the WHO Weekly Information Session, National Public Health Officer Dr Abraham Abenego discusses the current situation following a recent death, the role of cross-border movement and low awareness in continued transmission, and what communities should do to recognise symptoms early and prevent the spread.
