We’re pleased to see continued focus on pandemic preparedness with the recent conclusion of The Pandemic Fund ’s second funding round. The Governing Board's commitment to granting resources aimed at enhancing prevention, preparedness, and response (PPR) capabilities across 50 countries is a vital step forward. At SIGA, we recognize the critical importance of PPR as we work to develop medicines to treat and prevent emerging #infectiousdiseases . By supporting initiatives that strengthen our collective capacity to detect, respond to, and prevent outbreaks, we are taking significant strides towards safeguarding #globalhealth .

#Infectiousdiseases pose a severe threat to #globalhealth that cannot be adequately addressed with vaccines alone. Among these, #smallpox , #mpox , and other orthopoxviruses stand out due to their high infectivity and lethality. Society must take proactive measures to prevent and mitigate outbreaks—whether they arise from natural occurrences, accidents, or intentional acts. At SIGA, we are dedicated to developing treatments to combat emerging infectious diseases with high unmet medical need, ensuring patients worldwide receive the care they need.

The escalating #mpox outbreak is raising alarms about a potential multi-country epidemic or even a new pandemic. This year alone, over 17,000 suspected cases have been reported across Africa, predominantly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, underscoring the critical importance of a unified global response to combat the spread. In this JAMA publication, senior scholars from Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security examine the current global governance framework for a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), assess the mpox outbreak in Africa, and underscore the urgent need for countries to take swift action in response to this international call.

Since the World Health Organization declared #mpox a public health emergency of international concern ( #PHEIC ) last month, two people traveling to Africa – one from Sweden and one from Thailand – have become infected with the clade Ib virus and brought it back to their home countries. As mpox spreads rapidly, Nature spoke with #infectiousdisease specialists to explore how this current emergency compares to the global outbreak of 2022 and how the clade Ib strain differs from the clade II strain that caused the earlier outbreak. Stay informed about the mpox outbreak and its impact on #publichealth : https://lnkd.in/gh4uM8jV
