The current unprecedented Monkeypox outbreaks emergence and spread on non-endemic countries has led to over 3413 laboratory confirmed cases and one death, and yet, does not constitute a public health emergency of international concern as June 23th 2022. We urgently call for collective regional and global partnership, leadership commitment and investment to rapidly strengthen and implement Monkeypox World Health Organization outbreak Preparedness and emergency response actions plans implementation against Monkeypox outbreak. Given the importance of human-animal-environment interface and transmission dynamics, fostering global and regional One Health approach partnership and multisectoral collaboration programs have timely and robust sustained investment benefits on poverty-linked Monkeypox and other emerging epidemics population-based programs, while leveraging from lessons learnt. Moving forward requires addressing priority research questions listed and closing the knowledge gaps for Monkeypox and others neglected tropical diseases roadmap implementation in vulnerable and at risk countries.
当前,前所未有的猴痘疫情在非流行国家出现和蔓延,导致超过 3413 例实验室确诊病例和 1 例死亡,但截至 2022 年 6 月 23 日,这并不构成国际关注的突发公共卫生事件。我们紧急呼吁建立集体的区域和全球伙伴关系、领导层承诺和投资,以迅速加强和执行针对猴痘疫情的世界卫生组织暴发准备和应急响应行动计划。鉴于人类-动物-环境界面和传播动态的重要性,促进全球和区域的同一健康方法伙伴关系和多部门合作计划,对与贫困相关的猴痘和其他新发传染病的基于人口的规划具有及时和强有力的持续投资效益,同时借鉴经验教训。展望未来,需要解决列出的优先研究问题,并为在脆弱和高风险国家实施猴痘和其他被忽视的热带病路线图消除知识差距。
