  • Mpox: Delivery of Emergency Supplies in DR Congo, September 2024 (16)
    On 7 September, World Health Organization (WHO) delivered 14 metric tonnes of medical supplies and equipment to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to support infection prevention and control and case management for the ongoing response to halt the mpox outbreak. The supplies consist of personal protective equipment, tents, treatments and other medical supplies, sufficient to support clinical care for 16 800 people for three months. The consignment was shipped from the WHO Emergency Preparedness Hub in Nairobi, Kenya.  These deliveries were part of WHO’s response to the public health emergency of international concern. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is seeing multiple outbreaks of mpox driven by different strains of the virus. The current outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo is driven by a new variant of clade I, called clade Ib which is spreading between people, including through sexual transmission. This strain has been detected in other countries in East and Central Africa, and among travellers in countries outside Africa.On 7 September, World Health Organization (WHO) delivered 14 metric tonnes of medical supplies and equipment to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to support infection prevention and control and case management for the ongoing response to halt the mpox outbreak.
