Mpox and cholera ravage Africa concurrently
As cases of Mpox increase on the continent, the Africa CDC has vowed to supply 10 million doses by 2025, while the countries affected increase their vigilance around the disease by focusing on surveillance, prevention, and community engagement. And as the rest of the world fights to avert an avalanche of cases spreading, other countries including Sudan are battling another outbreak - that of cholera. The situation has become dire in the northeast African nation, where the population is suffering from the fallout of catastrophic floods and a 16-month conflict.
