Global Emergency: Monkeypox Outbreak

We need to increase national vigilance against the possibility of cases occurring in Indonesia, both from within the country and the possibility of transmission between countries.

The World Health Organization (WHO) on 23 July declared the monkeypox outbreak as a global-health emergency.

The statement that monkeypox is a public-health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) is a kind of alarm for the world to make maximum efforts so that the situation is under control and does not escalate into a pandemic.
