🔎📊 Did you know that #mpox cases in the DRC have almost quadrupled in 14 years? Together with Institut National de Recherche Biomédicale (INRB) we published a study in The Lancet, that shows a troubling rise in cases—especially among children younger than 5 and rural populations. Urgent action is needed❗
