The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi on Tuesday issued a standard operating procedure (SOP) for handling patients with suspected monkeypox.
The declaration by the World Health Organisation (WHO) of Mpox as a global health emergency for the second time in two years underscores a critical issue: the inequity in our global health system.
Monkeypox, a rare viral disease, occurs primarily in tropical rainforest areas of Central and West Africa, though it has occasionally spread to other regions.
